Movie recap is becoming a popular entertainment trend, helping viewers save time but causing producers headaches about lost revenue and copyright infringement. Is recap an opportunity or a threat to the film industry? Discover the impacts and powerful solutions of Thu Do Multimedia to protect creative assets and revenue from films.
Movie reviews only reveal part of the content with many leads and suggestions to introduce and encourage the public to go to the cinema to fully enjoy the work. Reviews carry a personal mark because it is the perspective and subjective feelings of each reviewer.
Meanwhile, movie recaps simply summarize the main content of the movie while ignoring other factors. It is worth mentioning that movie recaps are illegal activities, infringing on the rights of the producer. Because unlike reviews, recap clips reveal all the content with important details that make the audience no longer interested in watching the entire original.
From 120-minute movies to long-running TV series, from Hollywood blockbusters to Bollywood movies,.. All are summarized briefly in clips about 5-10 minutes long.
How to make movie recap content
The worrying reality is that many recap clips are currently disguised as movie reviews, flooding platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Facebook. Channels such as FC Review, Matcha Review, Phim Ngôn Tình TV, Vua Phim Review, Queen Movies… produce a series of videos that are “false advertising”. It is worth mentioning that this confusion not only misleads movie lovers but also unintentionally turns them into “accomplices” in promoting copyright infringement.
When browsing through some of these movie recap channels, the quality of the content often disappoints viewers. Instead of engaging voices and in-depth analysis like in professional review videos, recap clips only use the monotonous computer voice of “sister Google”. The visuals are sloppily cut and pasted, incoherent, and even boringly repetitive. Not to mention, to increase views, many channels do not hesitate to use cheap headlines, misspell the movie name or blatantly distort the content, completely distorting the meaning of the original work.
Disguised as a review plus poor quality, surprisingly this type of recap clip attracts a lot of views. Recap clips of foreign blockbuster movies such as “The Little Mermaid”, “Lord of the Rings”, “Ant-Man”, “Spider-Man”, “Painted Skin” … often reach the million-view mark.
Emotions of filmmakers
For producers, the trend of disguised movie reviews is no different from pirated or secretly filmed movies, and is even more dangerous because of the cover of movie reviews. Ms. Ngo Thi Bich Hien, Deputy General Director of BHD Film Studio, was indignant that this is a form of copyright infringement, causing serious loss of revenue for filmmakers. With the rapid development of technology, today’s movies are not only shown in theaters but also on copyrighted and paid online movie platforms such as Film Plus, Danet, Netflix, K+, etc.
Discussing this issue, Associate Professor Dr. Hoang Cam Giang, Head of the Department of Art Studies, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi said: “The act of reviewing movies in disguise (recap movies) is seriously infringing on the copyright of the original ideas and content of the movie. In the era of “fast consumption”, the public likes short videos, quick entertainment. Where there is demand, there is supply, so there are people who do disguised movie reviews, summarizing the content of the movie in a few minutes.”
Why Movie Recaps Are “Exploding”
The trend of recaping movies is not a coincidence, it has become a popular phenomenon on social networks and video platforms. Here are the main reasons why this form of entertainment is spreading more and more strongly:
– Viewers save time
Young people think that watching movie recaps saves time
In modern life, time is a precious commodity. Many people do not have the patience or time to watch a full hour-long movie. Movie recaps, which last from a few minutes to under 10 minutes, give viewers a quick overview of the movie without having to follow every detail. This is especially suitable for people who want to quickly update on the highlights of the movie without committing too much time.
– Social media platforms and YouTube drive virality
Social media algorithms favor short-form content
Platforms like YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram have become fertile ground for recap content to thrive. The algorithms of these platforms prioritize short, highly interactive content that appeals to a wide range of audiences. An engaging recap video not only attracts millions of views but is also easily shared, creating a strong viral effect.
– Meet the needs of young people to watch “fast content”
Young people today tend to prefer short, concise content, suitable for a fast-paced and multi-tasking lifestyle. Movie recaps are an ideal choice, helping them grasp the main content of the movie without spending too much time or effort. Moreover, with vivid, humorous summary content or a new perspective, movie recaps not only provide information but also become an independent form of entertainment.
Young actor Chinh Do shared that most of the audience of movie summary clips are students, especially in remote provinces or rural areas, where conditions to go to the cinema are limited. Many people choose to watch recaps because of convenience or because they are lazy to go to the cinema, especially for those in the city. Just spending an hour, they have grasped the content of many famous movies and can easily “chat” like a true movie lover.
The above factors have created a special attraction for the movie recap trend, turning it into a highly influential digital cultural phenomenon in today’s technological age.
2. Negative impacts of film recaps on the film industry
Movie recap problem becomes stronger, spreading across multiple channels
Movie recaps, although meeting the audience’s need for quick entertainment, have brought many negative consequences to the film industry. Here are three prominent impacts:
Reduced box office revenue
Movie recaps have unintentionally become an alternative, causing many people to no longer be interested in going to the cinema or subscribing to watch movies on mainstream platforms. In particular, with movies whose plots depend on surprise elements or plot twists, viewers often feel that it is not necessary to follow the entire work when they already know the content through recaps. This directly affects revenue, reducing the appeal of movies right from the release stage.
Copyright infringement
Most recap videos use original clips without the consent or permission of the producer. This leads to increasingly serious copyright infringement. Furthermore, the content of “plagiarism” is widely posted on platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook, causing financial damage and diminishing the brand value of filmmakers.
Reducing the artistic value of the film
A film is an elaborate combination of content, acting, sound and image, aiming to bring a complete emotional experience to the audience. However, film recap videos often cut and summarize the content in a few minutes, causing viewers to ignore the artistic depth, acting value and message of the film. This not only distorts the image of the work but also loses the creative efforts of the production team.
Film recap clips only satisfy the audience’s temporary curiosity and do not meet the need to enjoy cinema. Director Vu Ngoc Phuong said: Watching a complete movie is a journey to enjoy the beauty in every image, sound, acting, camera angle, etc. that the director and the crew tried to create.
A few minutes of watching a movie summary is no different than holding a book and only reading the table of contents.
Destroying creative passion
Revealing important details in a film not only reduces its appeal but also makes filmmakers lose confidence and motivation to invest in new projects. Many producers worry that they will not be able to recover their investment if the audience already knows the content through movie recap.
These impacts not only cause economic damage but also weaken the sustainable development of the film industry. Requiring filmmakers and the community to have timely solutions to protect creative values.

As a result, the demands for a quality livestream are increasingly emphasized. Understanding the needs of businesses, Thu Do Multimedia and Sigma Livestreaming are the perfect solution for you.
Why is Livestreaming important?
Direct Interaction
Livestream is a form of interaction between sellers and customers, thereby creating customer demand for the products that businesses offer. Therefore, the ability to connect with the author is the key to making exchanges and sales of goods easier and more convenient. Creating a strong connection with the audience, increasing trust and loyalty is the key to the success of a livestream with listeners. And it is also through these direct forms that businesses can integrate technology to increase customer interaction even more than before.
Increase conversion
The ultimate goal of a livestream or any other communication activity is to collect potential leads and turn them into conversions. This is applied to almost all online and offline advertising models today.
But compared to traditional advertising models, Livestreaming has more strengths than conventional advertising forms, which is the ability to interact. The audience does not have to go to the place to directly experience the product, but now, all they need is an electronic device. Consumers can completely participate at any time, in any livestream they want, including product introductions or seminars without having to go anywhere.
Also from watching the livestreaming, users are more inclined to buy tickets directly to those seminars when they have experienced what they see on the Internet. This is also the key to the success of many businesses operating on digital platforms.
According to reports from Go Pro, one of the technology trend information sites, up to 67% of people who participate in a livestream of an event will directly BUY tickets to that conference! This is also the key to the success of many businesses operating on digital platforms

According to reports from this site, we can draw the following conclusions:
The number of unique mobile phone users will reach 5.61 billion by early 2024. The latest data from GSMA Intelligence shows that 69.4 percent of the world’s total population now uses a mobile device, with the global total increasing by 138 million (+2.5 percent) since the beginning of 2023.
More than 66 percent of all people on Earth now use the internet, with the latest data bringing the global total to 5.35 billion. Internet users have increased by 1.8 percent in the past 12 months, thanks to 97 million new users since the beginning of 2023.
The world is moving into a new era, and Internet communities are a delicious bait for businesses to target. Regardless of the business sector, whether it is about products and services, Livestream can easily reach these audiences in this large market. Therefore, Livestreaming is increasingly appreciated because of the effectiveness it brings.
Challenges of Livestreaming
In the face of the powerful surge in livestreaming, businesses within the digital sector, particularly those in television and education, are experiencing significant growth. Despite this progress, livestreaming on existing platforms continues to present substantial challenges regarding quality and consumer experience. Key concerns include:
Quality of livestreaming session
Images are the first thing we access. And what’s worse is that the first experience is what makes customers lose sympathy for the service. Many livestreams today use inaccurate equipment and standards. As a result, a series of problems appear such as problems with the transmitted file or poor image quality, which will greatly affect the viewer’s experience. And especially, in the television and education industry, live streaming videos encounter common errors such as “lag” and delay, which have become all too familiar:
The quality of Livestreams on online learning platforms are either spontaneous or recorded in the form of Video on Demand. However, these files also leave many questions about the form and quality of their live versions.
Let’s take Coursera, one of the largest online learning platforms in the world, as an example. With the huge amount of content and lectures that this platform brings, it is difficult for them to ensure that all recorded files have the same quality. The players on this platform only support us with videos below 720P quality compared to other online learning platforms that are only available on the market.
Source: Coursera
But what about the stability of the live sessions? Most of the time, live sessions cannot operate smoothly when there are too many people participating directly in the livestream.
Many units operating in the education sector in Vietnam have also applied Facebook as their main live streaming platform. However, most of Facebook’s live sessions also bring an uncomfortable experience when the livestream unit itself lacks the necessary tools to ensure the smoothness of the live sessions as well as the quality it brings.
However, in the form of playback, Facebook has also improved the quality of its VOD files by allowing users to completely customize Full HD resolution, which is a step up from other live platform.
Content – The key factor
Content is also a key factor in determining a successful livestreaming session. With the current booming live streaming trends on the internet, it will be difficult for content to stand out from other competitors.
User’s interaction: a MUST!
Interaction is always the key to a successful livestream. Your company operates in the digital field, such as providing live football matches through your platform. And what’s better than when the commentators and listeners can participate directly and interact with each other through the available interfaces on the platform such as score predictions, winning minigames… Users are always the focus of every business, so having a livestream system that focuses on consumer experience and interaction will benefits on both ends.
Platform compatibility
Livestreaming is like that, but businesses sometimes think that if we only focus on the and image quality of livestreaming, we forget that sometimes the user’s device does not support those files or not. Recorded live sessions, whether big or small, must be broken down and converted into formats that consumer devices can view. And if this is not in your mind, then your brand is lagging behind many other competitors.

According to reports, pirated movies are silently stealing millions of dollars from film production and distribution businesses every year, threatening the survival of the entire industry. Don’t let your revenue continue to be ‘gutted’ by copyright violators! Join Thu Do Multimedia to find out the detailed effective solution in this article!
1. Pirated Movies – The Silent Thief
Pirated movies, although not a new concept, have developed into a global problem thanks to the spread of the internet and technology. Previously, the copying and distribution of pirated movies took place slowly through physical media such as tapes and discs, but today, with just one click of the mouse, millions of people can access illegal movies worldwide. This not only causes a rapid loss of revenue but also puts businesses in a situation where they have to face unpredictable losses.
According to a recent report, the global film industry loses billions of dollars every year due to pirated movies. For film production businesses, this does not stop at losing ticket sales but also seriously affects distribution channels, advertising and commercial cooperation.
Pirated movies have been silently taking away valuable film assets from legitimate businesses that own film copyrights. But what is even more worrying is that many businesses have yet to fully realize the seriousness of this problem. If you do not act now, your business may find itself in a difficult situation when revenue is greatly affected and your competitive position in the market is lost.
Documents from the Office of the US Trade Representative clearly state that Phimmoi and Phimmoizz are two websites that illegally upload thousands of movies and TV shows. Although the domain name Phimmoi has been blocked, most of the traffic has since been transferred to Phimmoizz. This new website continues to be on the list of the most serious copyright infringement websites in Vietnam.
2. The “Allure” of Pirated Movies: Why Do Users Choose Pirated Movies?
Pirated movies have become a common problem, attracting millions of users worldwide. So what makes pirated movies so appealing, even when users know that they are breaking the law and may face serious consequences? Here is a closer look at the factors that make pirated movies so appealing to audiences:
Convenience
One of the biggest factors that attracts users to pirated movies is convenience. Instead of having to go to the theater or pay for legal streaming services, users can watch movies right at home with just a few clicks without any cost. Moreover, pirated movie sites often offer a wide selection of movies, from new to old, all available immediately, no waiting required.
Legal movie distribution platforms often have registration requirements, payment requirements, and sometimes geographic restrictions, making it difficult for users to access the content they want. Meanwhile, pirated movie sites do not require complicated logins or any form of identity verification, making it easy and quick for users to access.
Speed and Fast Accessibility
When a new movie is released, audiences often want to watch it immediately, and this demand has created “fertile ground” for pirated movies to develop. Pirated movie sites often upload movies immediately after they are released, sometimes even leaking them before the official release date.
This fast access makes many people willing to ignore legal services and choose pirated movie sites to satisfy their need to watch movies immediately. This is especially true for blockbuster movies or popular TV shows like Game of Thrones or The Mandalorian, which attract millions of viewers worldwide.
Films downloaded illegally more than 1 billion times
A prime example is the Game of Thrones season 7 series, which was downloaded illegally more than 1 billion times in a short time. The eagerness of viewers to not miss out on new content has contributed to the trend of watching pirated movies, despite the risks of breaking the law.
Lack of Legal Options
In some countries, especially developing countries, legal online movie viewing platforms are not yet popular or are not affordable for the majority of people. This creates a market gap that pirated movie sites quickly fill.
For example, in India, not everyone can easily access streaming services like Netflix or Amazon Prime due to high subscription costs or technical and legal barriers. Consumers, therefore, tend to look for free, more convenient alternatives, and pirated movies become the top choice. In addition, some movies or TV shows are not available on local streaming services, further forcing viewers to turn to pirated movie sites to satisfy their entertainment needs.
But the cost of pirated films goes beyond lost revenue. Filmmakers are facing the risk of reputational damage, as many of their products are released in poor quality, affecting the viewer experience.
3. The Shocking Truth: Billions of Dollars Are Lost Every Year Due to Piracy
Many film production and distribution businesses are faced with a big question: How much money are we losing to piracy? The figure may not be easy to calculate accurately, but it is clear that the damage is huge.
According to research by Envision Ltd, India is one of the leading countries in terms of the rate of viewing and downloading pirated films. Many films such as Udta Punjab, Mohalla Assi and Paanch have been leaked online in high quality before their official release. This not only loses potential revenue from ticket sales but also affects copyright deals, international distribution and pay TV channels.
Every time a film is pirated, businesses not only lose the opportunity to profit from their product but also lose control of the market. When consumers have easy access to pirated versions, they have less incentive to buy tickets to legitimate movies or use legitimate services. This undermines the entire film industry ecosystem and hurts businesses large and small.
Videos (films and TV shows) are the most pirated content on the internet making up more than 66% of all pirated content. According to estimates, the United States loses $29.2 billion in revenue every year due to online video piracy. The latest piracy reports indicate that global film piracy increased by 33% during the COVID-19 lockdown.
Annual global revenue losses from digital piracy are between $40 and $97.1 billion in the movie industry.
Illegal downloading of copyrighted materials takes up 24% of the global bandwidth.
52% of online users watch pirated videos.
59% of people are aware that downloading or streaming pirated videos is illegal.
The ACE Alliance, which includes more than 50 major entertainment production companies including Amazon, Disney and Warner Bros., has claimed credit for shutting down Fmovies, a popular network that streamed pirated movies and TV shows. In an official statement, ACE called Fmovies and its affiliates “the world’s largest pirate streaming network.”
Charles Rivkin, CEO of the MPA and President of ACE, described the takedown of Fmovies as “a resounding victory for casts, crews, writers, directors, studios and the creative community around the world.” Adding that the MPA’s Director of Content Protection, Larissa Knapp, stressed that the move “sends a strong deterrent message” to those who operate or attempt to establish pirate sites that stream copyrighted content.
The two countries with the largest number of users downloading pirated movies globally have introduced strict sanctions to deter and strictly control this “epidemic”.
In the United States Violating when sharing pirated movies on websites can face fines of up to $750. In August 2019, the FBI charged eight people with copyright infringement for copying and distributing movies. Although users can use VPNs, IP addresses can still be traced and network operators can also identify devices accessing pirated websites, putting users in legal trouble.
In India India used to be one of the leading countries in downloading and watching pirated movies, with popular movies being leaked before they hit theaters. To reduce violations, the government has taken many measures such as reducing service taxes to lower ticket prices. However, copyright violators in India can be imprisoned for 6 months to 3 years, with fines ranging from 50,000 to 200,000 rupees ($655 to $2,600) for the first offense, and the penalties increase for repeat offenders.
Despite the “strict sanctions” imposed on the leaders of pirated movie websites, the complete removal and handling of the site is still a big question and a long road that needs to be closely pursued. Each trial is very costly in terms of cost, time and effort, so businesses should proactively take “preventive” measures and protect their film products as the top priority.
5. Sigma DRM – Playing the Hero in the Fierce Battle to Protect Film Copyrights of Businesses
In the context of pirated films growing stronger and threatening the revenue of the film industry, film production and distribution businesses are looking for more effective protection solutions.
One of the leading technological weapons today is Sigma Multi DRM. The solution provides a strong layer of protection, helping businesses ensure intellectual property rights and protect digital content from illegal copying and distribution. This is considered a solid technological “shield”, playing an important role in protecting the valuable assets of film producers and distributors worldwide.
The Secret of DRM Technology: How Sigma Multi DRM Becomes a Solid Shield Against Piracy
DRM is a digital rights management technology that helps control and prevent unauthorized access to digital content. Sigma Multi DRM is the most advanced solution today in combating the copying and distribution of pirated movies. This technology works by encrypting digital content and limiting user access, allowing only those who have been legally licensed to access and view the content.
A highlight of Sigma Multi DRM is the ability to integrate with many different streaming platforms, from services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime to internal systems of businesses. This helps protect movie content from being copied, even when it has been released on legal distribution channels. With comprehensive protection, Sigma Multi DRM becomes one of the leading solutions to prevent copyright infringement.
Sigma Multi DRM solution has achieved the world’s leading Cartesian certification for the first strong digital copyright protection with 3 layers.
Understading about Sigma Multi DRM
Producer’s Movie Protection
For movie producers, protecting intellectual property rights is extremely important. From production to distribution, their content is always at risk of being stolen and illegally distributed, which greatly affects revenue and brand. Sigma DRM helps producers protect their film content from the moment it is completed, by encrypting data and strictly controlling access rights.
In addition, Sigma Multi DRM technology also allows producers to track the history of content usage, helping to promptly detect copyright infringement cases. This not only helps protect the financial interests of businesses but also ensures transparency in the release and distribution of digital content.
Protecting Distributors’ Films
In addition to protecting producers’ films, Sigma DRM is also a powerful solution that helps film distributors maintain control of content on streaming platforms and distribution channels. In today’s digital environment, once a film has been released to the public, maintaining ownership and control of content becomes extremely difficult. Pirated movies are easily copied and illegally distributed on many unofficial channels.
With Sigma Multi DRM, publishers can protect their content from being pirated even after it has been released to the public. By encrypting and limiting access by geographic area, device or broadcasting platform, Sigma DRM ensures that only audiences who have paid or have legal rights can access and use the movie content. This helps protect revenue and maintain fairness in the online cinema market.
In 2016, Thu Do combined with VTVCab to launch an OTT television platform called VTVcab ON, the first platform entirely researched and built by Vietnamese people, not only pioneering 4K broadcasting on the Internet but also the only system to date that has all content channels from free to paid protected by DRM. When managing content, the “station” will be flexible in licensing the time when content can be viewed for free, what time to charge, and not having to pay bandwidth for content “stolen” by bad guys.
Not only that, Thu Do Multimedia’s products are deployed in many leading large and small organizations and businesses in Vietnam and some international countries. The solution is deployed in a variety of fields and activities such as television, entertainment, education, healthcare, etc.
Features of Sigma Multi DRM
This is a solution that both meets the security requirements at the operating system level (Operating System) often used by companies that own valuable copyrights such as Hollywood film studios, the English Premier League, etc. and meets the security requirements at the application level of third parties. Sigma Multi-DRM participating in the second inspection and passing the security requirements is a very proud event when a Vietnamese technology solution has passed the rigorous tests of a leading prestigious organization in the world.
Conclude
With the growth of pirated movies, film production and distribution businesses need strong and comprehensive protection measures. Sigma Multi DRM is the leading solution, helping businesses protect intellectual property and maintain a competitive position in today’s digital film industry.
As the games industry continues to expand and innovate, understanding the complexities of DRM technologies, their impact on their distribution, and the ongoing debate between security and user experience is critical. This article delves into the various aspects of DRM in games, examining its importance, technological advances, and finding the optimal balance between protecting developer rights and maintaining player satisfaction.
The master of protection
DRM – the guard of your creation
Digital Rights Management (DRM) refers to a set of technologies used to control the use, modification, and distribution of digital contents. DRM aims to prevent piracy by ensuring that only authorized users can access and play the game.
This is critical for the gaming industry, which suffers significant revenue losses due to illegal copying and distribution of games. By implementing DRM, game developers can protect their intellectual property, ensuring that they receive fair compensation for their work. This, in turn, supports the development of new and innovative games.
Undenied Impacts of DRM
DRM plays a crucial role in protecting game developers’ intellectual property by embedding security measures within the game software. These measures can include encryption, online authentication, and anti-tamper technologies that make it difficult for unauthorized users to access or distribute the game, stopping them from stealing content online.
By preventing piracy, DRM helps developers recoup their investment in game development, incentivizing them to create more content and push the boundaries of game design and technology. Without DRM, the financial viability of many projects could be jeopardized, potentially stifling innovation and reducing the diversity of games available to consumers.
DRM has evolved significantly since its inception. Early methods included physical dongles and simple key-based systems. As internet access became more widespread, online activation and verification systems were introduced. The rise of digital distribution platforms like Steam marked a significant shift, with more sophisticated DRM technologies being implemented to protect digital game libraries. Over the years, the gaming industry has seen numerous DRM strategies, each with varying degrees of success and acceptance by the gaming community.
Innovations and Advancements in DRM Technology
Over the years of development and optimization, DRM solutions have had many improvements to serve copyright protection needs such as:
Denuvo
Denuvo is a highly effective anti-tamper technology that has become a standard in AAA game releases. Denuvo’s technology makes it significantly harder for hackers to crack games, providing strong protection during the critical release window. You can see most of the game nowadays, including Red Dead Redemption are incoporating this technologies into their gameplay.
Cloud-Based DRM
Leveraging cloud services to manage game licenses and user authentication. Cloud-based DRM can provide more flexibility and security by storing sensitive information on remote servers rather than on the user’s device.
Blockchain
Exploring the use of blockchain for secure and transparent digital rights management. Blockchain technology offers the potential for decentralized DRM systems, which could provide greater security and transparency for both developers and users.
A whole lot of technologies
The gaming industry employs a variety of DRM technologies to secure their products. Common DRM methods include online activation, serial keys, hardware-based protection, and software encryption. Each of these technologies has its own set of features designed to verify the authenticity, ensure it is being used in accordance with the terms of the license. Some of the most widely used DRM technologies in gaming include:
Online Activation
Requires the game to be activated through an online service, linking the game to a specific user account or device. Which pretty mean that you only able to play if you’re paying for it.
Serial Keys
Involves unique keys that must be entered to activate the game, often combined with online verification to ensure the key has not been used multiple times. Furthermore, on some special solution, the key can be change gradually to furthermore protect the game.
Hardware-Based Protection
Uses specific hardware components, such as dongles, to verify the game’s legitimacy. This method is less common in modern gaming but is still used in some specialized applications.
Software Encryption
Encrypts the game’s files, making it difficult for unauthorized users to access or modify the content. This method is often used in combination with other DRM technologies to provide multiple layers of security.
DRM Policies on Major Platforms
Real Practice of DRM you didn’t know about
Major gaming platforms each have their own DRM policies and practices designed to protect games and ensure a fair distribution of digital content:
STEAMWORKS
Steam actually uses a combination of online activation, software encryption, and account-based access.
Steam’s DRM system, also known as STEAMWORKS, provides a suite of tools for developers to protect their games, distribute and manage their product on the market.
STEAMWORKS Official Page
PlayStation Network
Employs a mix of online verification, content licenses tied to user accounts, and hardware checks. Games purchased through the PlayStation Network are linked to the user’s account and console, preventing unauthorized distribution.
Xbox Live
Implements similar DRM measures as PlayStation, with a focus on online authentication and digital licenses. Xbox Live requires users to connect to the internet periodically to verify their game licenses in order to play the game.
Nintendo eShop
Officially, in 2022, Denuvo is coming to Nintendo Switch games in an attempt to block users from emulating games on PC.
Relies on user account linking and online checks to manage game access. Nintendo’s DRM system ensures that digital purchases are tied to the user’s account and specific hardware, which can complicate game sharing and reselling on PC.
In fact, there have been many cases where game developers have applied DRM solutions to protect game content copyright and achieved many remarkable results. Here are some of the most notable result around implementation of DRM:
Steam
Its combination of user-friendly features and robust security measures has made it a leading digital distribution platform. Steam’s approach to DRM, including features like offline mode and family sharing, has helped balance security with user convenience.
GOG.com
Known for its DRM-free approach, GOG.com has built a loyal user base by prioritizing user rights and accessibility. By offering DRM-free games, GOG.com has attracted users who value ownership and the ability to play their games without restrictions.
Ubisoft
Ubisoft has refined its DRM strategies over time, balancing security with user experience through continuous feedback and iteration. Ubisoft’s implementation of flexible DRM policies, such as removing DRM from older titles, demonstrates a commitment to customer satisfaction.
User Experience and Implications of DRM on Different Gaming Platforms
The user experience of DRM can vary greatly across different gaming platforms. On Steam, users appreciate the convenience of cloud saves and game library management, but may be frustrated by the need for constant online activation.
PlayStation and Xbox users benefit from robust online ecosystems, but DRM-related restrictions on game sharing and resale can be contentious. Nintendo’s DRM can sometimes lead to issues with accessing digital purchases across multiple devices, affecting user satisfaction.
Each platform’s approach to DRM has its own set of trade-offs between security and user convenience. Some users may find the DRM measures to be an acceptable compromise for the benefits provided, while others may view them as overly restrictive.
Impact of DRM on Distribution, Piracy Prevention, and User Access
The Bright Side of DRM
DRM significantly impacts game distribution by enabling digital platforms to control the access and distribution of games. It aids in piracy prevention by making it challenging for unauthorized copies to function correctly. However, DRM can also affect user access, sometimes causing legitimate users to experience difficulties, such as needing a constant internet connection for offline games or facing compatibility issues with certain hardware. The effectiveness of DRM in preventing piracy is a subject of ongoing debate.
While it can deter casual piracy, determined hackers often find ways to circumvent these protections. Moreover, DRM can sometimes lead to negative user experiences, such as difficulties in accessing purchased games or performance issues caused by the DRM software itself.
The Challenges approach!
Although serving the noble need to protect the game and the publisher’s intellectual property, DRM also leaves many mixed opinions in the community, such as:
Consumer Rights
Critics argue that DRM can infringe on consumer rights, limiting how and when users can access purchased content. Some DRM systems restrict the ability to resell or lend games, which can be seen as unfair by consumers.
Technical Issues
DRM systems can cause technical problems, such as game crashes or performance issues. These problems can arise from the additional software required for DRM or from conflicts between the DRM system and the user’s hardware or operating system.
DRM services often run in the background and consume device resources such as RAM… affecting the gaming experience of consumers. Base on how the system work, even high-performance devices still cannot minimize this delay, and it is even more absurd on low-end devices.
Whether or not copy protection applications affect performance is also a hot topic of discussion online. Typically on Reddit, when gamers hated Denuvo because their DRM caused performance issues for their games.
DRM systems often track how players use the game, including how much time they spend in the game. This information can be used to apply time limits or other restrictions, and user hate that they can’t spend more time with their game. Take World of Warcraft for example, this massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) has had many time limits in the past, such as daily quest limits and raid locks. These restrictions are designed to prevent players from overloading the game’s servers and encourage them to spread out their playtime. As a result, players are more likely to use a version without DRM to bypass these issues, simply cracked or piracy app as a better substitute.
Piracy vs. User Experience
While DRM aims to combat piracy, overly restrictive measures can alienate legitimate users, leading to negative reviews and decreased sales. Finding a balance between preventing unauthorized use and providing a seamless experience for paying customers is a major challenge for the industry.
The on-going solutions
For user
For consumers, there are many ways to solve the DRM problem. The simplest is to use software that supports free games today. Many applications such as Steam, Epic Game, Humble Bundle or GOG mentioned above, all provide free games without any interference from copyright protection solutions. Therefore, players can freely use them without worrying about the system being stalled by DRM.
For users with higher demands for using famous copyrighted games such as Black Myth WuKong, Resident Evil, … using pirated and cracked versions of the game is a form of assisting in copyright and digital content theft. Use official versions published on game distribution platforms to support developers and ensure the most realistic and smooth gaming experience.
For game publishers and developers
Consumers are very price-sensitive, and price issues are always the reason why games are pirated so much nowadays. Therefore, as a game developer and distributor, they must have monthly promotions and discounts and special holiday offers to encourage players to buy their products.
And in terms of management, using optimized and high-performance rights software like Sigma DRM is also a very important priority. Using quality solutions will ensure the safety of digital content and prevent illegal piracy of game on all platform.

In the digital age, website performance and security are paramount. Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) play a crucial role in ensuring that websites load quickly and securely, regardless of the user’s location. By distributing content across a network of globally dispersed servers, CDNs reduce latency, improve load times, and protect against cyber threats. In this article, we will delve into the workings of CDNs, their numerous benefits, and review top 6 best CDN providers available today, including the standout Sigma CDN solution by ThuDo Multimedia.
Understanding CDN
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a network of servers distributed across various locations worldwide. CDNs deliver web content to users based on their geographical location, the origin of the webpage, and the content delivery server. By caching content close to the end-users, CDNs significantly reduce load times, improve site performance, and enhance the user experience.
How Does a CDN Work?
When a user requests content from a website, the CDN redirects the request to the nearest server that can deliver the content. This server, called an edge server, delivers the cached content to the user, reducing the distance the data must travel and thereby decreasing latency. CDNs also regularly update their cached content to ensure that users receive the most current version of the website.
Key Features of CDNs
Caching: Temporary storage of web content on multiple servers across various locations. This reduces the distance data must travel, thus speeding up content delivery and reducing latency.
Load Balancing: Distribution of network traffic across multiple servers ensures no single server becomes overwhelmed, maintaining website performance and availability even under high traffic conditions.
Edge Computing: Processing data at the edge of the network, closer to the user, for faster data delivery. This is crucial for applications requiring low latency, such as real-time video streaming and online gaming.
DDoS Protection: Mitigating Distributed Denial of Service attacks that can overwhelm a website with traffic. CDNs absorb and distribute malicious traffic, protecting the origin server from becoming overwhelmed.
SSL/TLS Encryption: Securing data transmission between users and servers. This ensures that sensitive information is protected from interception and tampering during transit.
CDNs offer numerous benefits for websites, including:
Improved Load Times
By caching content on servers closer to the user, CDNs reduce latency, resulting in faster load times. This is particularly beneficial for websites with a global audience, as users from different regions can access content from a server near them, leading to a more consistent and speedy experience.
Enhanced Security
CDNs provide additional security features like DDoS protection, secure token authentication, and web application firewalls (WAF). These features help safeguard websites from various types of cyber attacks, ensuring the integrity and availability of the site. DDoS protection, for example, helps mitigate attacks aimed at overwhelming the server with excessive traffic.
Increased Reliability
CDNs distribute traffic across multiple servers, which ensures that the website remains accessible even if one server fails. This redundancy is crucial for maintaining uptime and reliability, especially for websites with high traffic volumes or mission-critical applications.
Bandwidth Savings
By offloading content delivery to edge servers, CDNs reduce the bandwidth consumption of the origin server. This not only lowers hosting costs but also improves the origin server’s performance by reducing its load, allowing it to handle other tasks more efficiently.
SEO Benefits
Faster load times and improved user experience contribute to better search engine rankings. Search engines like Google consider page speed as a ranking factor, so using a CDN can positively impact a website’s SEO efforts, leading to higher visibility and traffic.
