Limited protection measures for high-value content

High-Value Content: At $997 per license, your content represents a valuable target for piracy.
Insufficient Protection: Password-only protection is easily circumvented and can be shared between unauthorized users.
Custom Website: Self-hosted platforms often lack the sophisticated anti-piracy tools available on established marketplaces.
Video Format: Video content is particularly vulnerable to capture and redistribution without proper DRM implementation.

Consider integrating an enterprise-level DRM solution like Widevine or FairPlay to prevent unauthorized downloads and sharing.

Add dynamic user-specific watermarks that include identifiable information to deter sharing and aid in tracking leaked content.

Consider moving to platforms like Teachable, Kajabi, or Thinkific that offer built-in security features and anti-piracy measures.

Limit access to specific IP addresses or regions to prevent credential sharing between users in different locations.

For custom websites with membership functionality, consider these specific security enhancements:

Implement single-session login restrictions to prevent multiple simultaneous account usage
Integrate with Cloudflare's security features to prevent automated access and scraping
Use a secure video player like JW Player or Vimeo Pro with domain restriction capabilities
Disable right-click and implement JavaScript-based screen recording detection
