How Do I Protect Audio and Video from Piracy?

VOD provides security policies such as playback authentication and video encryption to protect your copyrighted audio and video.

  • Playback authentication: VOD provides referer validation and URL validation to control who can access the distributed audio and video files, preventing unauthorized users from downloading or playing VOD content by using playback URLs. For details, see Configuring Hotlink Protection to Control Who Can Play Media.
  • HLS encryption: VOD encrypts HLS videos to prevent video leakage and hotlinking. With HLS encryption enabled, encrypted videos cannot be distributed to others even if they are downloaded by malicious users. For details about HLS encryption, see Protecting Videos with HLS Encryption.
