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.

In today’s gaming industry, combating unauthorized copying (piracy) is a paramount concern. Digital Rights Management (DRM) has been utilized as a tool to deter unauthorized copying and protect the interests of game developers. However, the question remains: can DRM in games effective in preventing piracy in games? Join Thudo Multimedia as we delve into this topic in the article below.
What is DRM
Digital Rights Management, commonly known as DRM, is a set of access control technologies employed by the game industry to secure game content. Its primary function is to prevent unauthorized reproduction and distribution of digital media, which includes video games. For game developers and publishers, DRM serves as a frontline defense against piracy, ensuring that only legitimate owners can access and play their games.
Significance in the Game Industry: DRM systems are crucial in safeguarding intellectual property rights, maintaining revenue streams for creators, and supporting the ecosystem that allows for continued innovation and development of new games.
This article delves into the effectiveness of DRM in thwarting piracy efforts within the gaming world. A spotlight is cast on Sigma Multi DRM, a sophisticated system developed by Thudo Multimedia, which has made significant strides in protecting games from unauthorized access.
Understanding DRM in Games
Digital Rights Management, commonly known as DRM, serves as a technological fortress in the video game industry. It is designed to control the use of digital content and devices after a sale.
What is DRM in Games?
In video games, DRM software acts as a gatekeeper to enforce the rules set by game publishers or distributors. It ensures that only legally obtained copies of games are played and often requires some form of authentication from the user.
Why is DRM in Games Important?
The primary objective of incorporating DRM in games is to prevent unauthorized copying and sharing, which can significantly impact revenue streams for developers and publishers. By safeguarding against such activities, DRM helps maintain the value of intellectual property within the gaming ecosystem.
How Does DRM Protect Games?
DRM software performs several functions to secure game content:
Validates legal ownership through key activation or account verification
Manages access levels, such as single-user or multi-user licenses
Monitors usage to detect and deter piracy attempts

By understanding the role of DRM software like Sigma Multi DRM in today’s game industry, stakeholders can appreciate its significance in maintaining a fair marketplace where creativity and investment are protected.
The Battle Against Piracy: Examining the Current State of Game Copyright Theft
Piracy continues to be a major problem in the digital gaming world. It involves the unauthorized copying and sharing of games, which undermines the rights of the creators. Despite efforts to protect games with DRM (Digital Rights Management), piracy is still a big issue and keeps changing, making it difficult for game developers and publishers to tackle.
1. Prevalence of Piracy
Illegal downloads and counterfeit copies of games are still widespread and pose significant threats. Online platforms that allow sharing of files and peer-to-peer networks make it easy for pirated games to be distributed widely, often within days of their official release.
2. Impact on Revenue Streams
Game developers suffer financially due to piracy. They lose out on sales because people can access their games without paying for them. This directly affects their ability to fund future projects and sustain themselves as developers.
3. Intellectual Property at Risk
Piracy not only hurts revenue but also devalues the creative process itself. Developers lose control over how their work is shared and modified, which can harm their brand image and consumer trust.
The problem of game copyright theft is extensive and complicated, requiring a comprehensive approach to address it effectively. While DRM technology is important in protecting content, it’s just one piece of the puzzle. The industry needs to explore other strategies and understand different types of piracy in order to develop stronger defenses against these infringements.
We need stronger security measures against game copyright theft
Digital gaming, a realm rich with innovation and creativity, isn’t immune to the shadowy underbelly of piracy. A deeper dive into this issue reveals two primary forms: pirated copies and cracking DRM mechanisms.
1. Pirated Copies
This form of piracy involves unauthorized copies of a game being distributed without the consent of the developers or publishers. Pirated copies are typically offered on various online platforms at a significantly reduced cost or even free, enticing gamers who wish to avoid paying full price. The downside? These versions often lack key features, updates and can even harbor malicious software.
2. Cracking DRM Mechanisms
A more technical and sophisticated form of piracy is cracking DRM mechanisms. In simple terms, ‘cracking’ refers to the process where hackers manipulate game code to bypass the built-in DRM protection. This allows unauthorized access to the game, rendering it freely distributable. It’s a constant game of cat and mouse between these hackers and DRM providers as new security measures are continuously developed to combat evolving cracking techniques.
While these forms of piracy present significant challenges to game creators, understanding them is the first step in combating them effectively. As we delve further into this topic, we’ll scrutinize how DRM solutions like Sigma Multi DRM can play a part in curtailing game piracy.

The Growing Threat of Copyright Theft in Education
Amid the digital shift in the education sector, copyright theft has become a major problem. According to a report by the Global Piracy & Counterfeiting Consultants, unauthorized copying and distribution of educational materials could result in annual global losses of up to $25 billion
The Rise of Unauthorized Platforms
Educational content, such as textbooks and research articles, are increasingly being shared on platforms that do not have proper authorization. One notable example is the notorious website Sci-Hub, which hosted more than 85% of all scholarly articles. This unregulated sharing has negative effects on both teachers and students.
Impact on Educators
Teachers are heavily affected by this issue due to financial losses. Publishers put in a lot of effort and resources to create high-quality educational materials, but copyright theft undermines their investment. As a result, there is less motivation for publishers to continue producing top-notch resources. Additionally, authors may receive lower royalties, which can negatively impact their income.
The situation of theft of educational content on the internet is increasingly serious
Students also suffer from copyright theft, albeit indirectly. Pirated educational materials often do not receive regular updates and may contain mistakes or missing information that are not present in authorized versions. This compromises the quality of their learning experiences as students might be studying outdated or incorrect information without realizing it.
The Broader Implications
Copyright theft is not just an economic problem; it poses a significant threat to the fundamental aspects of education—creating and sharing knowledge. It highlights the urgent need for strong measures like multi-DRM technology to protect intellectual property in education.

Best Practices for Implementing a Robust DRM Strategy in Education
Implementing a robust DRM strategy in education requires careful consideration of several key factors.
1. Scalability
Scalability is arguably one of the most important aspects to consider. As educational institutions grow or change, their DRM solution should be able to scale with them. This includes the ability to handle increased data volume, more users, and expanding content libraries. Sigma Multi DRM, for example, is built with scalability in mind, allowing institutions to adjust the level of security as needed.
2. User Experience
Beyond scalability, user experience should not be overlooked. A DRM solution must be easy for both educators and students to use. This means it should integrate seamlessly into existing learning management systems and require minimal technical knowledge. The interface should also be intuitive, ensuring users can easily access and navigate protected content.
3. Holistic Approach
A holistic approach to DRM goes beyond mere technology. It should also include educational initiatives aimed at fostering a culture of respect for intellectual property rights. This can involve teaching students about copyright laws or incorporating lessons on digital citizenship into curricula.
Here are some best practices to consider when implementing a DRM strategy:
Evaluate Your Needs: Understand your institution’s unique needs and challenges before choosing a DRM solution.
Partner with Experts: Seek advice from DRM providers or consultants who have experience in the education sector.
Test Before Implementation: Pilot the DRM solution with a small group before rolling it out institution-wide.
Provide Training: Offer training sessions to both educators and students to ensure they understand how to use the system effectively.
Monitor and Adjust: Regularly review the effectiveness of your DRM strategy and make necessary adjustments.
With these best practices in mind, educational institutions can implement a robust, efficient, and user-friendly DRM strategy that protects their valuable digital assets while promoting an ethos of respect for intellectual property rights.

The realm of entertainment has been profoundly reshaped by the advent of Over-The-Top (OTT) apps and services. These digital platforms have not just become a trend; they’ve evolved into a transformative force, offering instant access to a diverse array of content, ranging from movies and TV shows to music and live events. As we embark on a journey through the history of OTT, we’ll unravel the roots of this revolution and delve into how it has metamorphosed into a global entertainment powerhouse.
The Emergence of OTT Technology:
In the early 2000s, a pivotal moment arrived with the rapid improvement of internet speeds, giving birth to Over-The-Top (OTT) technology. This technological leap enabled individuals to directly access information via streaming media services. Netflix, initially a DVD-by-mail rental service, seized the opportunity and transitioned to online streaming.
The Emergence of OTT Technology
Netflix’s groundbreaking move into online streaming disrupted established cable and satellite TV models, introducing on-demand access to a vast collection of films and TV series. This pivotal moment opened doors for streaming giants like Hulu and Amazon Prime Video, intensifying competition and expanding the realm of OTT services.
War with Traditional TV:
As OTT platforms gained popularity, they ventured into producing original content, exemplified by Netflix’s “House of Cards.” This marked a turning point, showcasing that OTT services could not only compete but excel in producing high-quality, award-winning content. The industry witnessed a surge in original programming, attracting renowned talent to create exclusive content.
The battle of viewership between OTT vs Traditional TV
The widespread availability of OTT services disrupted traditional TV, prompting consumers to embrace the flexibility and affordability of OTT subscriptions, leading to the phenomenon known as “cord-cutting.” Traditional networks adapted by launching their own OTT platforms to stay competitive.
Global Expansion, Localization, and Mobile Revolution:
OTT services transcended national boundaries, exemplified by Netflix’s global expansion tailored to regional tastes. This globalization accelerated the development of OTT platforms, captivating a diverse global audience.
The proliferation of smartphones and fast mobile internet significantly contributed to the popularity of OTT apps. Users gained the ability to access their preferred content on the go, enhancing the accessibility and convenience of OTT services. This trend has been leveraged by mobile-focused platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Disney+, catering to the ever-expanding mobile audience.
The evolution of OTT apps and services is a fascinating journey from technological innovation to a global entertainment revolution. OTT has not only redefined how we consume content but has become an integral part of our cultural landscape. As we look ahead, continuous technological advancements promise a dynamic future for OTT, ensuring its enduring dominance in the ever-evolving world of entertainment.
