MPAA approves military grade anti-piracy encryption technology
In an attempt to be more proactive rather than simply reactive, the MPAA has recently approved the DreamStream system and its 2048-bit “military strength” anti-piracy encryption technology to protect content streamed to viewers online.
First introduced to the MPAA in March of 2008 by Laura Tunberg, MGM’s former vice president of intellectual property enforcement, it was since reviewed by the MPAA and found it to be a viable means for securing digital content. Chief development officer for DreamStream, Ulf Diebel, is excited by this acknowledgment of their product.
Diebel also went on to say that, “their recommendation is not something that Hollywood will take lightly.” Diebel makes some bold claims. He says that with DreamStream, digital content can finally be distributed without fear of piracy. That in fact, they make it impossible for movies to be digitally pirated. He says their technology can give back both property rights as well as the commercial success of music and video recordings with a solution “that benefits both producers and consumers.” Not so sure all those folks busy pirating would agree with that statement.
