Current Events & Mitigation Strategies for Video Piracy (Room B313)

Video piracy is skyrocketing, worldwide. This workshop will help attendees understand how video pirates are stealing content and how techniques, such as session-based watermarking, are being used to identify and suppress theft. Ericsson’s Raj Nair kicks things off by explaining a way to create watermarked segments, using a “sample variants” approach. Next, Comcast’s Don Jones provides a history of online video piracy, current events, and engagement mechanisms that can help reduce the amount of illicit content -- prior to engaging the applications and devices.
