 |  Disney looks to blockchain to defeat pirates Chains didn't do the British much good against the Dutch navy Disney added a new anti-piracy patent to its arsenal: a blockchain-based distribution system that aims to make it harder for pirates to intercept films being distributed to movie theatres. The patent in question, titled "Blockchain configuration for secure content delivery," focuses on distributing content to movie theatres. This is a vulnerable process where pirates with the right connections can make copies during or after delivery. There are already several security mechanisms in place to prevent leaks from happening. Theatres must adhere to strict rules, for example, and movies are all watermarked. Nevertheless, Disney believes that this isn't sufficient to stop pirates. "Such security mechanisms are often reactive rather than preventative. For example, watermarking configurations insert a watermark into content to track piracy after the piracy has already occurred. As a result, current configurations do not prevent piracy," the company explains. https://fudzilla.com/news/52868-disn...defeat-pirates |
