--- Quote from: mendip_discovery on December 25, 2022, 08:26:21 am ---I gave up doing event photography a few years back as every time I published my photos online they would just be lifted and shared on FB[1]. If I asked FB to take them down I would he branded the Assh*le for doing so, at the same time it has created a internet that doesn't quite get copyright. But back to the subject of sharing passwords I would love to see this go to court as that is the real test. Netflix etc will soon end up as bad as the Sky service, pay a expensive price and still have to endure adverts. I was quite surprised that the online tv providers haven't been covered by Ofcom/BBFC/ofwatch etc so they stuff they publish wouldn't necessarily be allowed on UK TV. Netflix etc have been ok with sharing for years as it got people hooked on it, many would go onto buy thier own service as they liked it but the investors want money, money is power so we are seeing the lawyers gearing up for those stupid lawsuits again, just like the early 2000. How do they know you have multiple addresses. Well each unit has a fingerprint, they will compare that to its IP/provider, as A only access it from this device at this IP but then B uses a different device on a different IP at the same time but always from a different IP then they are never at the same address. [1] some would just take a photo of a computer screen. So no amount if java would stop them. There were even some that would remove the water marks I had put on. --- End quote --- There’s a certain art to adding watermarks that are not tacky or appearing money-grabbing, whilst not spoiling the experience of viewing the photos as a potential customer or future client. If that fails, I’d consider stamping “SAMPLE IMAGE” diagonally across the image in a typeface with moire/pixel noise pattern; let’s face it - your actual customer has paid you and received the actual untouched images, and these ARE samples after all. One might consider a random pixel encoding technique which slightly alters known pixel locations by a value randomised by the SHA256 hash of the original image. I digress… |

I wonder if we might see a rise of "restreaming" devices, similar to Slingbox before that became another cloud service. Basically, the additional users would be accessing the same player device although they would be doing it from remote. |
