How to protect your products?

[moneymaker11]

Maybe it's not the right section for that, but I have a question for you today: what's the best tool (preferably already shared here) to protect a product (pdf, video course etc...) against illegal distribution?

I mean an app similar to these two ones:

Code:

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Why protect?

Sharing is caring :)

you will never be able to protect against it.

but here are some suggestions, get a good membership system like wishlistmember.

video hosting - http://wistia.com/pricing or amazon s3, but you'll need to protect your buckets.

also you could watermark your videos with your customers phone number, but thats a little more advanced.

if they share the videos, there phone number gets blasted everywhere lol.

they do something similar to this on 3dbuzz but they actually have your address and phone # watermarked in the videos, i think they pull this info from paypal.

also you could price your courses higher, so you don't get people buying, sharing, and refunding.

Great question but inevitably, if someone wants to share your product, they will find a way. Hopefully, you provide valuable content and not junk
