With their name on the screen,the video stops leaking.
Your risk isn't a piracy cartel. It's the student who bought, got in, and recorded the screen to resell your thousand-dollar course in a group for twenty. The lock can't reach whoever already has the key, and heavy DRM only gets in the way of the people who paid. So Moviie goes beyond the lock: every play carries, right on the screen, the name of whoever is watching. And nobody wants to be the person who reposted with their own name on the copy. The urge to share dies before the screenshot. The leak isn't caught later, it stops happening.
The lock blocks the people who paid.Whoever wants to copy walks right through.
The protection industry was built for Hollywood: a two-hundred-million-dollar film, an organized cartel, a 4K leak. That isn't your case. Your leak is the link on WhatsApp, the login split five ways, the student recording their screen. And the cruel part is that the hardest lock stops none of it, it only makes life worse for whoever actually bought.
Your thousand-dollar course reappears for twenty in a Telegram group. It wasn't a gang, it was one student with a screen recorder. And for whoever let it out, leaking cost nothing: no face, no name, no consequence. As long as sharing is free and anonymous, it'll keep happening.
How Moviie solves itReal hard protection demands a specific device, drops the quality, and locks out the legit student on their phone. You create friction for the people who paid, support fills up with complaints, and the pirate gets around it all the same. You paid a lot to hassle the right customer and never stop the wrong one.
How Moviie solves itThe lock is a wall, and whoever wants to copy looks for the gap until they find one. It doesn't touch what actually decides the leak: the person's choice to share or not. What stops a copy isn't a higher wall, it's the person thinking twice before letting it go.
How Moviie solves itLocked for whoever can't get in,marked for whoever can.
On Moviie, the video is locked from the start: it only plays with express authorization from your backend, so whoever doesn't have access simply can't reach it. But the lock can't reach the real risk, which is whoever already has access: the student who got in, recorded the screen, and passed it on. For that person, Moviie prints the name of whoever is watching right onto the image, a discreet mark that moves across the screen. The buyer barely notices. Whoever's thinking about reselling sees their own name on the video, and backs off, because nobody does, with their name on it, what they'd do anonymously.
The name of whoever is watching, right on the screen.
Every play gets a mark carrying the name of whoever is watching, drifting slowly over the video. It isn't your logo: it's the viewer's identity, unique per access. Reposting now means reposting with your own name on the screen. The student's math changes before they ever hit share.
- Unique mark with the identity of whoever is watching
- Reposting becomes reposting with your own name
- The urge to let it out dies before the screenshot
- Smooth motion that reminds without distracting
It isn't theory. It's how people behave.
People act differently when they know they're being watched, it's one of the most replicated findings in behavioral psychology: remove the anonymity and misbehavior collapses. In a classic study by Diener and Wallbom (1976), cheating dropped from 71% to 7% just by putting a mirror in the room. At a Newcastle University honesty box (2006), people paid nearly 3x more when a pair of eyes was printed on the wall. The name of whoever is watching, on the screen, is that pair of eyes, on every play.
- Cheating: from 71% to 7% with just a mirror in the room
- Honesty nearly 3x higher under watching eyes
- Littering halves when eyes are nearby
- No anonymity, no incentive to leak
Invisible to the customer, decisive for everyone else.
The mark sits alongside the video at low opacity, never covering content and never asking for a special device to play. It doesn't drop the quality, doesn't lock the phone. Whoever bought watches like always. And if someone still risks it, the copy still comes out with the access of origin: deterrence up front, traceability as a safety net.
- Discreet, low opacity, never covers the content
- No quality drop, runs on any device
- You choose the mark's style, the content is yours
- If someone insists, the copy still points to the source
The lock raises a wall.Social DRM changes the decision.
The difference isn't who's stronger on paper. It's that one tries to block the person and punishes whoever paid, while the other makes the person not want to leak. For your course, changing the decision is worth more than raising the wall.
| Lock (hard DRM) | Moviie's Social DRM | |
|---|---|---|
| Who feels the friction | whoever paid | no one |
| Changes the mind of whoever was going to copy | no, it just raises the wall | yes, the name on screen makes them hesitate |
| Screen recording | doesn't prevent it in the browser | comes out with the recorder's name |
| Video quality | can drop | intact |
| Needs a specific device | yes, to really work | no, runs on anything |
| If it leaks anyway | vanishes without a trace | the copy points to the access of origin |
The lock promises a wall and charges the toll to whoever bought. Social DRM leaves the buyer in peace and makes whoever was going to leak think twice.
The mark is one layer.The whole protection comes with it.
Signed link, no raw file exposed
Every playback link is signed and expires. There's no file URL to copy, scrape, or re-host. Shared it in a group? Before long it won't open anymore.
Locked domain
The player only runs on the domains you allow. Copied the embed and pasted it on another site? It won't play. The content travels with you, not with whoever copied the code.
Private by default
Nothing on Moviie is an open file. The default is closed: controlled access, traceable origin. You open what you want, at the level you want, without configuring the rest.
Who watched, in your dashboard
The access is logged alongside retention and the rest of the telemetry. Knowing which access a copy came from starts with knowing who watched, in the same place.
Turn it on via API, in your flow
Protection and play identification come through the same versioned REST, with a private token, for the video you deliver from inside your own product.
On your white-label player
The mark shows up on the player with your face: your color, your cover, your CTA at the end. Protection and brand identity in the same place, no third-party player fighting for attention.
What it doesand what it doesn't promise.
No, and we don't promise that, because a promise you can't keep doesn't protect anyone. Nobody fully stops screen recording in a browser, not even the hardest lock. But most people never get there: with their own name on the screen, recording and reposting stops being worth the risk. And if someone insists, the leak comes out signed, with the identity of whoever recorded it. The point isn't to block the act, it's to remove the urge to do it.
It isn't one or the other. Access is genuinely locked: the video only opens with express authorization from your backend, and whoever doesn't have permission can't reach it. The social side of the name is the layer no encryption solves: the student who already has access and records the screen. For that person, a padlock is useless, they're already inside. Moviie puts the name of whoever is watching on the screen, and reposting now costs your own name, exposed. It's one of the most proven effects in behavioral psychology: people don't do, with their name on it, what they'd do anonymously.
Barely. It shows up discreet, at low opacity, drifting slowly over the video, without covering content and without dropping the quality. It doesn't require a specific device, it runs on any device. Whoever paid watches like always. All the weight sits on the side of whoever's thinking of reselling, not on the legit customer.
First, the important part: most of the time it doesn't leak, because nobody wants to repost with their own name on the screen. But deterrence isn't a guarantee, so there's the safety net: the mark carries the identity of whoever was watching, fixed to the image. If the copy shows up where it shouldn't, you can point to which access it came from. In Brazil there have already been convictions of people who bought a course and resold it, and what was missing was the source.
Upload a video,and watch the video stop leaking.
14 days of trial to turn on Social DRM: every play with the name of whoever is watching on the screen, discreet for the buyer and impossible to ignore for whoever's thinking of reselling. It's not tracing after the fact, it's the leak that stops happening. No sales call.
