A Pirate's Tale: Building a client-side anti-piracy solution in a week
summary
Built in five days using AWS MediaLive S3 CloudFront with VideoJS and Common Encryption the team deploys a client-side system that uses ClearKey, a VideoJS anti-pirate plug-in, and key rotation every ten seconds. Backend lambdas, DynamoDB and JWT license responses control watermarking and ban by session ID or IP. Watermark overlays session IDs on the player, keys rotate to kill access, and it costs under $10 for a match with 3,000 legal viewers while taking down three illegal streams (one larger than the legal).
