The war between hackers and telemovie producers. How to protect your movies from being stolen? This article will reveal 3 ways that hackers may have used to threaten the Telemovie of the business. Let’s find out the details in this article with Thu Do Multimedia!
1. Fierce Rating Race: The Telemovie World is Getting More and More Exciting
New Term
Telemovie is short for Television movie or Television film, is a feature-length film produced and distributed originally by or for a television network, as opposed to a theatrical film.
1.1. Decoding the phenomenon
The race for ratings in the television industry, especially the telemovie genre, is extremely fierce. Producers, directors and actors are constantly striving to create more and more attractive, engaging and dramatic films to attract their audiences.
With the increase of television channels, online platforms and the increasing number of films produced. Filmmakers are forced to create quality, unique products with huge investment budgets, to win the “golden ticket” to stand out from the crowd.
Audiences have many choices between good TV dramas, so they are increasingly more demanding and demanding. Audiences demand films that are not only attractive in content but also have beautiful images, vivid sound and impressive acting. Therefore, film producers chasing high ratings have to invest in higher and higher production costs.
High ratings mean large advertising and high revenue. Therefore, TV stations and producers always aim to achieve outstandingly high ratings to maximize profits. Therefore, the world of telemovies is a race to “hunt for ratings” to have the opportunity to break through and survive through classic films.
1.2. Revealing 05 factors that make a Telemovie successful
In the race to attract the attention of the audience, telemovie filmmakers are constantly creating and innovating. To create a film that makes viewers unable to take their eyes off, waiting eagerly for each episode and having to talk about them enthusiastically. So what are the factors that help a film stand out among thousands of other products and achieve great success?
The first factor is: Possessing a good script
A good script is a solid foundation for the success of a telemovie. The story does not need to be too new or different, but it needs to have depth, exploiting social issues, and complex character psychology.
Building a complete script, with unexpected details, dramatic twists is extremely important. Besides, character building is also a key factor. Multidimensional characters, with their own stories, will more easily win the audience’s sympathy.
Remember, the 2018 psychological film – My Mister has left an echo in the film industry. The film stars IU and actor Lee Sun Kyun. It depicts the life slices of lonely adults in their own lives, and then one moment they realize: “Life is like that, everyone has to face difficulties, but after all, everything will be fine and then everyone has to move forward”. The touching film has excellently received the Baeksang Arts Award for Best Screenplay in 2019.
Two, talented actors
A talented actor will breathe life into each character, each scene, making the character come alive and close to the audience. Choosing the right actor for each scene is not simple. But it is extremely important. So that the actor can immerse himself in different levels of emotion, helping the audience sympathize and immerse themselves in the story. Fully enjoy each scene with genuine emotions.
“Hunting” for top famous actors not only attracts fans but also creates a strong ripple effect. However, for a film to be truly successful, the most important factor is the harmonious combination between the actor and the role. Many films have proven that young, talented actors, even though not too famous, can still create big surprises and win the hearts of the audience.
The movie “Reply 1988” is a typical example, when the young, vibrant cast created a fever not only in Korea but also throughout Asia.
Three, the architect of the movie
The director is the person who “steers the boat” for the movie to dock, the person with the overall vision, decides the style, tone, and atmosphere of the movie. Thanks to talented directors, the emotions of the actors are complete, full, and their images are most perfect when reaching the audience.
Four, Vivid images and sounds
As mentioned above, the audience not only demands movies with vivid scripts, but they also want the movie to have sharp images and vivid sounds. Because it directly affects the audience’s emotions, remembers and creates a deep and lasting impression. To create quality images and sounds, producers must invest thousands of dollars in filming techniques, editing, sound and lighting.
Five, Effective Marketing
Marketing plays an important role in bringing the film closer to the audience. An effective marketing campaign will help create curiosity and attract public attention. Choosing the right media channel, building a unique brand image, and organizing promotional events are necessary activities.
Create emotion
A successful TV series also depends on many other factors. But these are the 5 most important and core factors that every producer aims for and does not want to reveal the details to you.
The producer’s job now is to create classic films that can “captivate” the audience, take viewers from one surprise to another, evoke diverse emotions and leave a deep impression in the hearts of the audience. The audience feels like they are sharing happy and sad moments with them, and always look forward to each next episode. Only by creating such breakthrough films, will there be a chance to “reach the finish line” in the rating marathon race.
2. Between art and commerce: The fierce race for ratings
Ratings are not only a measure of the success of a television program but also become the focus of the entire entertainment industry. From the “big guys” of the media to each individual audience, everyone is interested in this number.
In developed countries such as the US and Korea, measuring ratings has become a daily activity, when almost every television is equipped with measuring devices, helping to record in detail the television viewing habits of each household. Thanks to that, the rating index is continuously updated and public, providing a comprehensive view of the audience’s tastes.
Telemovies with high ratings are the result of many viewers, proving that the script and actors are attractive. Therefore, some producers make films in a “rolling” style, that is, they film and broadcast at the same time. Listening to the audience’s situation to easily change according to the crowd’s expectations, creating attraction from the beginning to the end of the film.
Squeezing into “Prime Time”
As a film producer, everyone wants to be shown in the “prime time” of television. Because this is the time frame that is watched by the most viewers, the film’s images are transmitted the fastest, and the highest rating of the day. However, with the fierce competition for every pixel on the small screen, many TV series are pushed out of prime time by the station to make room for “popular” game shows with high ratings and lots of advertisements.
Many seriously invested telemovies with educational and artistic values find it difficult to squeeze into prime time, and this makes it difficult to call for investment due to the obsession with ratings.
Unhealthy competition
In the race for the No. 1 position on the rankings, many TV producers and directors are constantly improving the quality of their products and investing heavily in big projects. However, behind the halo of high ratings is a “speed war” and many other unpredictable risks. However, the risk of copyright infringement is always lurking, threatening the fruits of their labor. When works are copied and illegally distributed in the digital environment, it not only causes economic damage but also significantly reduces the number of viewers, leading to a serious decline in ratings.
Investing thousands of USD but when broadcast, copyright infringement occurs, losing both revenue and traffic, making the competition twice as difficult. A telemovie must both squeeze into prime time and run faster than pirates to retain high viewership. This is an extremely big risk, rapid loss of revenue, requiring a large investment for the author to protect the copyright of his own film.
In the digital age, information spreads quickly, with just a few sophisticated operations, hackers can own a film of an entire group. Then it is quickly shared on social networks, forums or illegal websites to attract views and make profits. This makes protecting the copyright of telefilm more difficult than ever. From there, the task of holding the “golden key” to protect/manage the digital products of businesses in the production chain is a top priority.
Like the Telemovie “Go Go Squi” is a Chinese film that is causing a fever in Southeast Asia at this time. However, before fans were waiting for each episode to be officially broadcast on FPT Play channel, the entire film was leaked without subtitles until the last episode.
Famous movie was pirated before it aired
Meanwhile, on the copyrighted site FPT Play, the episodes are broadcast only 1-2 hours later than on the official site from China. This has greatly affected the ratings of the film on the official site at the end of the film, and also caused a significant loss for the official copyright buyer.
3. Screen Hacking: Detailed Analysis of 3 Sophisticated Hackers’ Ways to Steal Telemovies
Piracy of television series, especially telemovies, has become a serious problem in the entertainment industry. To better understand this problem, let’s “expose” the tricks that pirates most often use to steal your telemovies:
3.1. Hacking directly into the film distribution system
If telemovies are not protected as strictly and firmly as a “wall”, hackers can use tricks to “crack the code to get the golden egg” of the publisher quickly. Hackers will attack the content management system, the film distribution agent of the producer, the film studio or the online streaming platform. This is where the films are stored before they are released on TV channels.
Don’t let hackers successfully access, because they will take all the episodes of the business and automatically release them on the pirated film website before the official episode is broadcast. Not only that, these films are also of good quality, no different from online, attracting pirated viewers and severely reducing the official rating.
A prominent example is the hack of Sony Pictures in 2014, when a series of films were stolen and distributed before their theatrical release.
What if all the data in the movie that is about to be released is leaked on social networks? All the efforts of hundreds of thousands of people creating the masterpieces will be wasted, thousands of revenue will be lost due to the decrease in viewership and the audience is no longer interested in each TV show.
The more sophisticated the tricks, the more the producers need to update technology and use the best copyright protection software.
3.2. Using screen recording software
This is the second method that hackers are likely to use to steal business film products after they are broadcast online. Although not as direct as hacking into the system, the method of recording the movie screen and uploading it to illegal websites also causes serious consequences for telemovie distributors on platforms such as Netflix, VTVcab, Disney+, Amazon Prime, etc.
Hackers secretly film movie screens
This technique is very difficult to detect, because it is on the user’s side, right on the screen they are legally watching. With this tool, the image quality will not be full HD, smooth, and sharp as when watching online.
Therefore, leading film businesses often use Digital Rights Management (DRM) to limit screen recording. At that time, screen recording software will be blocked by DRM.
3.3. Stealing accounts and sharing content
Another method that is also mainly used by hackers is to use tricks to attack online users’ accounts using techniques such as:
Phishing (phishing via email, text messages),
Brute force (trying many different passwords),
Credential stuffing (using leaked login information from other websites).
After taking over the account, hackers can post it on forums, pirated websites or resell the account to black websites to make illegal profits.
The black techniques that hackers use to steal classic telemovie products from businesses are all due to poor security, many data loopholes, so hackers can easily “infiltrate” and “break the shield”.
Telefilm theft tricks are constantly “changing”
While businesses are fiercely protecting telefilms, the tricks used by “thieves” will become even more sophisticated in the future. With the rapid development of AI today, malware is constantly “transforming” to adapt to the strict protection measures of film producers and distributors.
What is the way out for the telemovie business?
The war cannot be stopped or “tolerated” so that thieves can freely take away the “property” of filmmakers. Digital Rights Management is a global solution to protect the copyright of television dramas. DRM not only helps encrypt and protect television content from unauthorized copying and sharing, but also provides tools to monitor and promptly prevent illegal distribution.
4. Defend yourself against attacks – Sigma Multi DRM solution protects the achievements of telemovie producers
Digital rights management (DRM) solutions such as Widevine, FairPlay, and PlayReady have been deployed to prevent unauthorized access and distribution, but current copyright protection solutions are not sufficient and a multi-pronged approach is needed to address the existing risks.
As mentioned above, there are many ways hackers can break security due to DRM vulnerabilities, and OTT TV providers and online publishers face a range of other risks that require comprehensive DRM software.

Faced with the need to protect music rights, Thu Do Multimedia and Sigma DRM Music solution will be the number 1 content protection shield for your recordings. Let’s find out more in the article
Music – the vast ocean we have yet to discover
Music, a universal language of humans, has played a crucial role in our lives. Especially in a digital world, with the development of technology, music has become closer and more influential than ever. With the advent of online platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and SoundCloud, we can enjoy any song we want, anytime and anywhere.
Also from the diversification that digital devices bring, the Internet creates conditions for artists to reach more, and spread themselves to the community, bringing great surplus values to the music industry. In addition to the core values for enjoyment, music is a voice and a medium widely used in fields such as advertising, movies, and video games, creating multi-dimensional and engaging experiences.
There have been many major campaigns and famous movies that have created a buzz in the hearts of fans, all through the unique and creative sound experiences of musicians, and artists, and the passion and dedication to their crafts.
A storm of sharing: the digital dilemma for musicians
In the age of connectivity, artists have embraced digital platforms as a powerful tool to reach wider audiences. However, this newfound accessibility has also unleashed a storm of sharing that threatens to erode the foundations of the music industry.
Some difficulties in managing and protecting music rights have left artists operating on digital platforms and music activists with heavy losses, both in terms of image and finance:
Pirates of the Digital Seas
Perhaps, the biggest culprits in this digital piracy spree are often the very fans who should be supporting their favorite artists. Although sharing music without permission is a blatant violation of copyright laws, but the allure of free content is too tempting for many. But faced with warnings, users still try to find ways to circumvent the law and use sophisticated tricks up their sleeves.
When music is shared for free, revenue from copyright sales and performances will decrease significantly, directly affecting the income of artists and music producers. And if you are listening to a song that has not been provided by the artist and has not been permitted to use, then you are probably indirectly supporting the illegal music streaming.
According to reports from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), in 2018, over 32% of music listeners worldwide were still using pirated and copyrighted music.
Frances Moore, CEO of IFPI, commented:
This report also shows the challenges the music community continues to face – both in the form of the evolving threat of digital copyright infringement as well as in the failure to achieve fair compensation from some user-upload services. Policymakers around the globe have been scrutinising these issues and increasingly acting to address them.
The digital age opens up many new opportunities for artists to develop and assert themselves. But as their works become more accessible, the exclusivity of music products is reduced, causing a loss of artistic value and appreciation from listeners. And also from the loose management, the tricks of illegal music theft become more sophisticated. Bad guys have taken advantage of loopholes in the transmission. Compressing files and sharing through low-quality platforms reduces sound quality, making it impossible for listeners to fully experience the work.
Difficulty in management
In the current digital age, social platforms have developed significantly. But along with that development is the laxity in controlling and preventing illegal acts. Social networking platforms are very large and diverse, and managing and preventing illegal sharing is extremely difficult.
We can take SoundCloud as an example. This platform is one of the largest in the field of music and audio production and transmission, alongside Apple Music, YouTube… However, in such a large community, SoundCloud’s content copyright policies still have big loopholes. Therefore, we can see thousands of different recordings of the same content without any refinement. Even the copyright management system that SoundCloud connects to will not be able to recognize those recordings because they only differ in the smallest aspects such as lower quality, longer time…
For independent artists, the fight against digital piracy can feel like a David vs. Goliath battle. Illegal sharing and piracy creates an unhealthy music market, making it difficult for independent artists to compete with products that are shared for free and are widespread on social media platforms.
From Thu Do Multimedia and our solution – Sigma DRM Music
Understanding the current situation of the music industry, in the role of a leading provider in Vietnam and Southeast Asia in managing and operating digital content, Thu Do Multimedia is developing our own digital rights management system with the hope of addressing this problem, by the name of Sigma DRM.

Sigma DRM is the official name of our product, produced by Thu Do Multimedia.
For businesses operating in the music and audio industry like SoundCloud, security needs to be a top priority. Sigma’s DRM solutions can solve the difficult problems that the application still faces: copyright and pirated music.

Most online courses are easily stolen and your business may be one of them without even knowing it. To deal with this challenge, implementing Sigma DRM on online course solution is extremely necessary and effective for every business. Let’s find out the details with Thu Do Multimedia in this article!
1. Scary Truth: More Than 50% of Online Courses Are Being Piracy Abused
Online learning is no longer strange to students or working people. In addition to school lessons, the need to study on online websites is increasing dramatically. Because of the convenience, lesson value and the ability to quickly and proactively absorb knowledge. Therefore, today’s course lectures are very diverse in the fields of finance, soft skills, English, mathematics, marketing, …
This change puts pressure on providers to update and innovate electronic learning materials to attract users. However, along with that are the arising problems.
With the same knowledge content and presentation compiled and posted on the website, it is not difficult for an online learning solution provider to find lectures posted exactly the same on another online learning website without their permission. However, although many lectures are copied, some online learning providers themselves are not interested in registering copyright for their products.
As a result, the rate of online courses being copied illegally and illegally traded on the Internet is increasing rapidly.
MUSO is a company that addresses these questions every day. In its 2018 report, the company found that there were more than 190 billion visits to pirated websites in 2018 alone worldwide.
Number of visits to pirate sites per country (According dataprot.net)
From online piracy statistics, it shows that more than 50% (according to Dataprot) of these recorded visits are to streaming websites, which is still the tool used by most users.
This is really a warning about the problem of illegal copying of online course content that businesses need to pay attention to. Online course businesses are in a “silent war” to manage online lectures.
Hidden Threats: Why Your Online Course Might Be Pirated Without You Knowing
Did you know that with just one click, all the hard work and knowledge you have built can be stolen? Online course piracy is becoming more common and sophisticated.
Educational organizations and businesses that create courses may not be aware that online courses are being copied and distributed illegally. Because they are unmeasured and do not leave a “footprint,” businesses cannot clearly check.
This happens due to a combination of factors:
Lack of advanced security measures:
Most platforms provide basic protections such as password access or user credentials, but these measures can be easily bypassed by tech-savvy individuals. Criminals can easily circumvent those passwords with minimal effort.
Use basic techniques:
Pirates often use screen recording software or download tools to record your videos, slides, or course materials. These tools are readily available and can be used discreetly, making it difficult for businesses to detect that content is being stolen.
Unauthorized Sharing Between Users:
Even with user access controls in place, legitimate users may still share their login credentials with others or download content and distribute it on unauthorized platforms.
No one wants their courses to be used illegally, because that directly affects the revenue and reputation, professionalism of the business. Therefore, towards a solution that needs to protect digital copyright for each lecture, e-learning courses.
2. How to integrate Sigma DRM on online course?
To manage “exclusively operated” online courses, businesses must find an optimized solution. A great solution to help businesses feel secure, free to create, and invest their brains in high-quality courses without worrying about being made public.. From there, they can help their students have a continuous learning path, easily breaking the limits of exam season.
Nowadays, based on rapidly developing technology, there is a solution that is most used by businesses to protect the copyright of online lectures, which is DRM (Digital Rights Management). By using DRM, owners can control how users use the product. Some typical control rights are:
Limit the number of file installations
Limit the time of use
Limit the file users,…
Many businesses around the world are providing different DRM solutions, with their own outstanding features. In particular, Sigma DRM – the No. 1 copyright protection solution in Southeast Asia, will definitely help your business manage 100% of online courses on demand in an optimal way and increase commercialization.
So how does Sigma DRM work?
Unlike physical products, DRM software is deployed by integrating into the business’s service packaging. DRM operations take place internally, like a thread running through it, tightly managing each component of the service, ensuring a seamless and secure experience for the end user.
Sigma DRM software activity profile
Simply put, Sigma DRM works by encrypting file content with a secret key. When students need to use the online course file, they need a Key to decrypt the file. At this point, students can access the course and enjoy the lecture fully in a private space.
For example, a DRM-protected course might limit the number of devices a user can play it on. Or in the case of an e-book, DRM might prevent the material from being printed or shared with unauthorized people.
Specifically, there are 3 levels that DRM can help businesses manage simple e-learning courses:
Setting copyright for a piece of content.
Managing the distribution of that copyrighted content
Controlling what learners can do with that content after it is distributed
To achieve these levels of control, a DRM scheme must effectively identify and describe three entities, including users, content, and usage rights, as well as the relationships between these three entities.
Integrating Sigma DRM into the online course Packager is very quick and businesses can easily manage their online courses easily. From there, they can control the “footprints” on the online learning platform. No more worrying, wondering “Is my online course being illegally commercialized?”
3. Does Sigma DRM affect user experience?
Sigma DRM does not affect user experience as much as other DRMs. Because Sigma DRM is integrated into the online learning system in an optimized way, the user experience is still smooth and seamless on the online learning platform for the most part.
Smooth experience – Passionate learning
Thanks to DRM, students have access to new, smart, advanced, modern and safe technology experiences:
Maximize security
Sigma DRM employs advanced encryption techniques to protect learners’ sensitive data, including personal information, test scores, and progress reports. This ensures a secure and private learning environment.
Personalization
Sigma DRM allows learners to hold the “key” to open their own course. Acquire the best knowledge, tips to pass tough exams right at their fingertips, which ordinary people without the key cannot access.
In particular, the process of encoding and decoding content can basically cause delays in the user experience. But with Sigma DRM, the user experience is still prioritized, smooth and seamless. Thereby helping to retain learners, focusing on absorbing course knowledge without being confused by the code.
A feature “Optimizing response speed from DRM system to client ≤ 1s” is the outstanding feature that Sigma DRM owns, solving the problem that many other DRM software cannot do. We are proud of Thu Do Multimedia’s Sigma DRM, which can bring benefits to both authors and audiences. Managing online courses while providing optimal user experience.
Encrypt each course – Protect each word
Imagine your learning material as a giant library filled with valuable books. With Sigma DRM, each online course will be locked with a special key, only authorized people can unlock and access. This helps protect your intellectual property from those who want to “borrow” without returning.
In addition to simply controlling an individual course, businesses can instead deploy encryption for each course pixel. Businesses around the world have deployed a number of features such as:
Encrypting lecture videos
Managing access rights
Preventing unauthorized downloads
Encrypting pdf documents,…
Thereby, businesses create a professional and safe learning environment. With the solid protection layer of Sigma DRM, the content of the business is always protected, helping students focus on “finding words”.
4K Quality – Freely “accelerate” learning
Many people often mistakenly think that DRM reduces the quality of content. In fact, DRM is just a layer of protection, like a shell that wraps a gift. It helps ensure that you can only use the gift in the way the giver intended. The quality of the gift inside is completely unaffected. DRM is simply a tool to help protect intellectual property rights and prevent unauthorized copying.
4. The Secret to 100% Protection of Online Courses with Sigma DRM
Need a “steel wall” to manage the knowledge repository
In the era of rapid digital technology development, sharing knowledge has become easier than ever. However, along with that, the situation of copying and illegally distributing course content is becoming more and more popular. Many high-quality courses, the dedication of lecturers, are copied and resold at a price of 1/10, causing significant damage to the creators.
“Although we have built a lecture repository on the internal system so that staff can study on their smartphones anywhere, most of them are basic, universal principles. For important content, we still use traditional training methods with printed documents. We still aim to maximize the convenience of smartphones in internal training, but content security is the most important,” said Mr. Vo Hoang Anh, Head of Technology Department at a large corporate training unit in Vietnam.
In response to these concerns, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Han – CEO of Thu Do Multimedia affirmed: “Sigma Multi DRM is confident in ensuring 100% protection of creators’ content on online platforms” We expect that secure content solutions will contribute to reducing copyright concerns for content creators around the world, thereby promoting creativity in the field of online education and training.
DRM help management elearning course
Affirming position in the international arena
“If talking about enterprises providing comprehensive OTT media solutions including DRM, Thu Do is currently the only enterprise in the world market. Because as we know, there are only 20 enterprises worldwide that have invented DRM, and the other “big guys” only specialize in developing a specific business area. In Thu Do Multimedia’s comprehensive solution, some software may not be excellent but it is enough to meet basic needs. We have prepared a menu for a buffet party, customers can choose all the dishes or some dishes according to their preferences, without having to choose and combine solutions from many suppliers to use”. CEO Thu Do Multimedia affirmed.
Recently, an incident related to Google’s Widevine DRM protection solution – hackers leaked the entire source code to the Internet, causing the content on 4 billion devices in the Android ecosystem and about 2.6 billion devices using the Chrome browser using Widevine to be unable to protect copyright.
Thu Do Multimedia once again proved its ability to major partners in Vietnam when only Sigma DRM was able to resist attacks due to its superior security capabilities compared to foreign DRM providers when it had built a third layer of protection while businesses only built two layers of protection for the DRM solution.
According to Cartesian’s assessment, Thu Do’s Sigma Active Observer- SAO active security layer is the first DRM solution to have such a third layer.

SoundCloud, a vibrant online music playground for independent artists, is now facing a major challenge from digital copyright issues. In today’s article, find more about the current situation and explain the reasons why SoundCloud should use Sigma DRM software from Thu Do to ensure their artist’s safety.
Reason behind SoundCloud success
The Holy Grail of musical artist
As mentioned above, SoundCloud is one of the online applications specializing in music and audio, which they claim to be “the world’s largest music and audio platform”, officially operating since 2008. Besides famous online music streaming applications such as Spotify, Apple Music, Zing MP3, the platform always has its directions and gaps on the current online music streaming platform.
After 17 years of operation and development and always putting the community first, Soundcloud has served many of its file customers, along with many other development and operational purposes. A large portion of the users will use the application as a library to store music and audio according to their preferences and needs. The rest are artists, who see this as a great place to develop their music and podcast careers.
Because of its simple interface and way of working, artists have been the place to discover their debut albums for the company and it doesn’t cost anything. Notable examples include Billie Eilish with her debut single Ocean Eyes in 2015, legendary rock group Sonic Youth and electronic music producer Moby, and Halsey with Ghost in 2014.
In addition, it is a bit like YouTube in that anyone can upload their content. When it’s public, everyone else can find and listen to it. Emerging musicians often put their music on SoundCloud; podcasters will share their shows on SoundCloud; While Sound Engineer (also known as producers) regularly upload their projects or experiments related to sound like type beat…
SoundCloud App
Great Feats of SoundCloud
SoundCloud is an open platform. Some audio streaming and hosting services have strict terms of use, creating many complex barriers between users and their content. As for SoundCloud, they always find ways to optimize and make sharing and streaming audio easy and transparent. Here are some reason why user and music artist prefer SoundCloud over Spotify and other music streaming platform:
Turn left, take on a different corner!
Instead of placing itself and following the familiar approach, since its first days of establishment, the platform has always aimed to develop and identify itself as a place for underground artists, as well as indie artists who work independently, not signed to any record label or organization.
Everything for their users
Since 2010, when the record industry was going through a serious revenue crisis, signing a promotion contract with a record label became less attractive than ever. Underground and indie artists, instead of signing strict agreements with producers and labels, started to look for ways to distribute their music to cut costs and be more connected to their users.
And SoundCloud stepped into the market as a savior at that time. The platform’s policies were also very friendly and generous to consumers such as:
No song upload limit – and it’s completely free!
Yes, artists saw this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for independent artists to upload all their products to the market without any difficulty in the distribution process. Even the duration of posting songs can be up to hours.
And best of all, all they need to pay is the time and effort for their music without caring about the price, because SoundCloud does it completely for free. They do not have to worry about weird surcharges from record producers and can freely post their music anytime, anywhere they want.
Although currently, some terms have changed to suit the current development situation of SoundCloud, this is still one of the biggest bright spots of SoundCloud in the world’s audio production industry.
No need to post through complicated intermediary systems
All users need to do is post songs through the system and after a few simple steps, all the files they want will be posted on the system without having to go through any complicated management or intermediary systems.
The platform of freedom and connection
Stepping up and pioneering the movement of connection and community building, SoundCloud allows independent and underground artists to freely connect and make music, communicating directly with their audiences on a digital platform.
Comparing SoundCloud to platforms like Facebook, Vimeo, or Flickr that only allow users and artists to upload music, SoundCloud emerges as a 3-in-1 environment: an unlimited upload server, an extremely convenient workspace for artists, and a step forward.
The problem arise!
When features are the problems!
SoundCloud was well-known for their massive user fanbase, which set them apart from their competitors like YouTube or Spotify. But there is a catch to this system!
Because SoundCloud emphasizes diversity, this music platform will have certain limitations in digital copyright management. Allowing users to freely upload cover content increases diversity but is subject to copyright.
The veil unfolds
The current state of music right protection on SoundCloud
SoundCloud, like many digital platforms, has faced the ongoing challenge of protecting content rights. Despite efforts to implement robust copyright protection measures, the platform has encountered persistent issues related to illegal content sharing.
In an attempt to address these concerns, they partnered up with Audible Magic, a technology designed to identify re-uploads of music and detect copyright infringements. While the technology holds promise in theory, there’re still limitations. One notable shortcoming is its inability to accurately detect songs with subtle differences, such as re-ups with lower quality or longer duration.
Soundcloud’s ability to allow users to upload music freely also encourages illegal uploading. If you want to find a song by any Indie artist, you can see that the original song is lost in thousands of other re-ups and re-ups. Some re-ups even have higher views and interactions than the original song.
Consumer are the reason
Consumer awareness plays a crucial role in combating illegal content sharing. Despite efforts to educate consumers about the importance of respecting copyright laws, many individuals continue to engage in practices such as downloading pirated music. According to reports from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), in 2018, over 32% of music listeners worldwide were still using pirated and copyrighted music.
Frances Moore, CEO of IFPI, commented:
This report also shows the challenges the music community continues to face – both in the form of the evolving threat of digital copyright infringement as well as in the failure to achieve fair compensation from some user-upload services. Policymakers around the globe have been scrutinising these issues and increasingly acting to address them.
SoundCloud has played a pivotal role in launching the careers of numerous indie artists, providing a platform for them to share their music with a global audience. However, in recent years, some artists have begun to distance themselves from the platform due to concerns surrounding copyright protection.
One notable example is Kien Trinh, a prominent Vietnamese indie artist who has publicly expressed his frustration with the prevalence of illegal music uploads. Despite having deep roots in the platform, Kien has announced his decision to delete his account and cease supporting illegal uploads.
Or like KidBuu, a rapper who uses the SoundCloud platform to facilitate illegal music plagiarism, violating the artist’s rights. He uses the SoundCloud platform to transform other people’s works and claim them as his own, such as using Trippie Redd’s beat and rapper Yeet’s “No Feel” in his recent song.
Many other indie artists and bands, including rapper bbno$, Sonic Youth… have also encountered challenges related to copyright infringement on SoundCloud. The platform’s failure to adequately address these issues has led to a growing number of artists seeking alternative platforms with more robust digital rights management (DRM) systems.
Impacton SoundCloud itself
Kien Trinh was not the only victim of illegal uploads through this platform. And if it does not make timely adjustments in the management of digital music rights for their artists, many more individuals will choose other forms and platforms with better digital content rights management (DRM) systems to protect their efforts and intellectual property.
Alongside from partnering with Audible Magic, SoundCloud should also enter into contracts with other digital rights managers to ensure that their independent artists have the right to protect their content and allow them to distribute it to those they license and allow to post it.
Solutions for copyright issues on SoundCloud and Thu Do Multimedia
From SoundCloud
Each process of transmitting digital content requires different stages to ensure that the rights of artists are put first. And in an environment that promotes creative freedom as well as the diversity of digital content, personal issues should be respected even more.
To ensure that process, SoundCloud must sign with other external copyright management parties to prevent any unwanted case from happening.
From Thu Do Multimedia and our solution – Sigma DRM
Understanding the current situation of SoundCloud, in the role of a leading provider in Vietnam and Southeast Asia in managing and operating digital content, Thu Do Multimedia is developing our own digital rights management system with the hope of addressing this problem, by the name of Sigma DRM.
More about DRM
DRM stands for Digital Rights Management. It is the use of technology to control and manage access to copyrighted material. Another meaning of DRM is the transfer of control of digital content to a computer program. DRM aims to protect the rights of copyright owners and prevent content from being distributed or copied without permission. Sigma DRM is the official name of our product, produced by Thu Do Multimedia.
For businesses operating in the music and audio industry like SoundCloud, security needs to be a top priority. Sigma’s DRM solutions can solve the difficult problems that the application still faces: copyright and pirated music.

DRM technology is now widely used globally to protect copyright in the fields of: Television or electronic publishing.
DRM Solution Protect Digital Rights by Thu Do Multimedia
Exclusive Spaces for the Most Special Audiences to convey the emotions and knowledge that content creators have worked so hard to create. But what if only the most loyal listeners could access special episodes? What if they felt privileged and prioritized over everyone else? That would not only create a deeper relationship with the audience but also help content owners build a cohesive community.
This is where DRM (Digital Rights Management) – a powerful copyright management solution – appears as a “golden ticket” to help content owners decentralize content, allowing only those who are truly interested to listen to what the author shares. DRM allows for the creation of exclusive collections, helping audiences feel like they are part of something special, just for them.
Enhance Audience Value with In-depth Content.
When a content owner puts all their love and passion into creating content, there is nothing better than seeing their audience feel and appreciate the knowledge they have worked so hard to create. Prioritizing listening access is also a way to honor the most loyal listeners, helping them feel more valued and engaged.
Imagine:
The content owner is sharing a series about personal finance management skills, but instead of letting everyone listen, you reserve the most important, most detailed episodes for only your fan community or those who are willing to pay for that knowledge.
You create real-life case studies, financial strategies that only your loyal audience has access to. This is not only a way to create exclusivity but also a way to show respect for the listeners who have always accompanied the author.
When your audience feels like they are getting valuable knowledge, not just free information, they will be more attached to you, and the relationship between you and your listeners will grow deeper.
DRM – A Tool for Creating Great Personalized Experiences
DRM is not only a tool to protect content from copyright infringement, but it is also a way for you to create a personalized experience for each audience. With DRM, you can:
Restrict access: Only special listeners, those who have contributed or subscribed to the service can listen to special episodes. This not only helps protect your rights but also helps you create a deeper connection with your audience.
Protect exclusive content: No one can take away what you have created without your permission. DRM is a shield to protect the precious episodes that you have put your heart and soul into.
Create a More Meaningful Journey with DRM
Imagine a world where every piece of content you create is more than just audio, it’s a journey that connects with listeners who truly care. With DRM, you can take control of that journey, protect your content, and enhance the value of every episode you share.
When you deliver real value to your most valuable listeners, they not only listen, but engage with you on a deeper level. They feel heard, appreciated, and they’re with you every step of the way.
8. Conclusion: The Future of Podcasting – You Could Be the Next Star
In the context of increasingly growing podcasts, not only is creating attractive content important, but managing copyright and protecting your content is also a vital factor. This is where DRM (Digital Rights Management) becomes the optimal solution, helping to completely control the use of content, ensuring that only authorized people can access and enjoy your podcast.
DRM not only protects the rights of creators but also helps to enhance the value of content When your podcast is properly protected, you can not only avoid copyright infringement but also optimize revenue from exclusive content. New technology trends like AI and voice search are opening up golden opportunities in podcast discovery and distribution, and DRM is the “shield” to confidently step into the digital future.

Billions of dollars in digital content revenue are lost? Businesses don’t know how to handle it? The article below will provide a comprehensive solution that businesses are looking for – Sigma DRM
1. Understanding DRM and Sigma DRM
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a set of technologies and software designed to protect digital content from unauthorized copying and distribution. By applying high security measures, DRM allows organizations to control access to documents, videos, audios and other types of media. An ideal DRM system must ensure transparency and flexibility for users, while creating complex barriers to prevent the use of pirated content.
Sigma DRM, a specialized DRM solution exclusively developed by Thu Do Multimedia, provides optimal protection for digital content on multiple platforms and devices.
2. What role does Sigma DRM play in the digital age
Before implementing Sigma DRM, businesses were often helpless in the face of serious copyright infringement. The illegal copying and distribution of digital content not only reduced revenue but also caused huge losses to brand reputation, especially for businesses in the entertainment industry.
Potential security vulnerabilities not only increased legal risks, but also put businesses in a state of constant anxiety, fearing that their intellectual property would be stolen at any time.
The program Meeting at the end of the year (Tao Quan) of Vietnam Television (VTV) is one of the most pirated programs, for example, Tao Quan 2021 had 2,011 cases of copyright infringement and in just 1 year, VTV had to handle more than 30,000 pirated videos on Facebook and more than 8,000 pirated videos on YouTube, not to mention other web platforms.
Mr. Le Quang Tu Do, Deputy Director of the Department of Radio, Television, and Electronic Information, pointed out that cross-border social networks like Facebook and YouTube, along with numerous websites, daily transmit vast amounts of news, digital content, and video clips to millions of internet users. Unfortunately, a significant portion of this content is illegally stored and distributed, bypassing copyright agreements, thereby harming the rights and reputations of content owners.
In response, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Han, General Director of Thu Do Multimedia, proposed a technological solution to proactively prevent online copyright infringement. This solution involves using Sigma DRM to lock copyrighted content during its distribution on the internet, paired with Finger Print technology to instantly eliminate unauthorized live streams.
Experts suggest that if copyright infringement is controlled, both the customer base and revenue will expand, potentially doubling the investment value of domestic online video content to $150 million by 2027 (from the current $75 million).
Sigma Multi-DRM meets security requirements at both the operating system level, as used by Hollywood studios and the English Premier League, and the application level for third-party security. The participation of Sigma Multi-DRM in the second round of testing, where it passed stringent security assessments, is a source of pride, showcasing how a Vietnamese technology solution has successfully met the high standards of a global authority.
Sigma DRM technology encrypts all music, issues a decryption key each time the work is used, and each time the key is issued, the system counts it as one use of the work. Issuing a key for each use can be likened to a request for permission to use the work, and that is the basis for transparency in the number of uses when the work is distributed on the internet. DRM technology is now widely used globally to protect copyright in the fields of: Television or electronic publishing.
With its advanced security technology, Sigma DRM enables businesses to break free from the concerns of copyright infringement, offering powerful tools to tightly regulate access to digital content, allowing businesses to easily manage who can access specific content types.
Sigma DRM is the solution to help businesses escape this obsession. With advanced security technology, provides powerful tools to tightly control access to digital content, making it easy for businesses to determine who has access to each specific type of content.
