The development and widespread use of broadband internet, new TV distribution platforms, and the explosion of enabled devices has made it easier for content owners to reach their audiences and for consumers to access and consume multimedia content in their own time and place.

In this new media universe, in which content is constantly getting easier to obtain, save, mash-up, share and stream, the potential for illegal content copies to be accessible for free or outside the scope of a subscription is preventing rights holders and ultimately consumers from fully benefiting. Securing media content and setting innovative management systems has become paramount for all the players in the media eco-system, from content owners, rights holders, distributors, marketers/advertisers through to end-users, to help in moving forward and building sustainable business streams.
