Encrypted Streaming - Data transfer from server to player is completely encrypted. There is no access to direct raw video file anywhere. Even the complex decryption mechanism makes it almost impossible for hackers to break into it.
Backend Authentication - While encryption prevents illegal download, the URLs behind the video should also be protected, so that one can not share them and play at some other sources. Dynamic URLs generated for stipulated time of playback and whitelisting (restricting to one domain) prevents this.
Watermarking - Specific watermarks like id, ip address, email id are only the ways to be shown on the screen to demotivate downloaders to copy the content and share.
