Case Study: CinemaNow protects film distribution rights with Digital Element’s IP geolocation technology

Territorial Rights Management Helps the World’s Largest Online Film Distributor Protect Distribution Rights for its Growing Film Library

CinemaNow, a leading online film distributor, needed a way to protect the territorial distribution rights for its extensive video content library across its website and integrated devices. Their challenge was to enforce geographical access controls to comply with studio licensing models and combat fraud, ensuring content was only available in authorized regions.

To solve this, CinemaNow implemented Digital Element's NetAcuity IP Intelligence technology into its PatchBay platform. This solution provided precise geographic rights management, allowing the company to reliably restrict content access based on a user's location. The results were critical for their business operations; as stated by their CEO, Digital Element's technology is absolutely necessary, as they cannot distribute films without it, helping to protect against piracy losses.
