BBC Case Study: The Use of VPN and Proxy Detection to Ensure Territorial Exclusivity for Rightsholders
Join this session to hear how the BBC utilizes VPN and proxy detection to ensure the territorial content exclusivity of their international broadcasters is protected. The territorially-based content licensing model is crucial for content owners. The proliferation of VPNs and DNS proxies undermines this model by enabling users from anywhere in the world to spoof their location in order to illegally access geographically restricted content. VPN and proxy detection is the first line of defense in stopping the continuous erosion of content value caused by geolocation fraud and geo-piracy. In this session, Alastair Campbell will share technical insights and expertise around VPN and proxy detection, while Diane Hamer will contribute the invaluable perspective of an international broadcaster. Please tune in for this insightful discussion!
