I bet the sole fact that a user can be identified and disclosed with all consequences for him, is probably enough to deter them from pirating the scenes.

There are video platforms that offer encryption, watermarking and other tools but those watermarks are probably just video overlays that can be eliminated by experienced thieves.

Example:

https://help.muvi.com/help/player/ad...to-videos.html

Downloads (if offered) are probably not watermarked, though this service is still interesting.

Nice dead thread bump, I have done this with my developer since before this thread was first opened, in 2015 (Developed in 2012 originally) - I have a dedicated server (600-800$/month) that only renders videos after a user has requested it, and inserts a watermark that they will never be able to see or know about. Long story short - it's no longer worth it. I have kept my mouth shut about using these kinds of techniques and always have pirates identified every time they signup.

By the way - the moment you ban some account that is sharing the content, they will signup again immediately with another carded account and a new ip. Good luck.
