The MPAA has approved the use of DreamSteam “military strength” 2048-bit encryption to protect online video streaming content in an effort to stop the unauthorized downloads of the content.
“We are very excited to have the MPAA stand behind our technology,” said Ulf Diebel, chief development officer for DreamStream. “The MPAA understands the need to be proactive - rather than reactive — in addressing the chokehold that piracy has on the motion picture industry. Their recommendation is not something that Hollywood will take lightly.”
Since being introduced to the system in March of this year, the MPAA has been reviewing the technology and has finally decided that it is a viable system for securing online content.
“We are very excited about our breakthrough technology. For the first time, digital content can be distributed without fear of piracy. By making it possible for studios and other copyright holders to secure their content, we can make it impossible for movies to be digitally pirated,” said Diebel. “DreamStream can restore property rights to their owners and restore the commercial success of music and video recordings with a solution that benefits both producers and consumers.”
As with all digital content, online media, including streaming, has fallen prey to piracy, but DreamSteam now feels they have the solution.
“The existing systems are broken,” said Diebel. “If studios and artists want to confront the problem of piracy they must embrace a comprehensive restructuring of their distribution methods.”

The IFPI and Italy’s Guardia di Finanza have announced the shutdown of the alleged file-sharing forum Downrevolution.net for thousands of instances of copyright infringement.
In connection with the site, four people have been arrested and each will face a “criminal investigation.”
Reports claim that only one of the men arrested was over the age of 18 meaning the rest are minors. There was no word on whether they will prosecuted as minors however. 17 computers, three external hard drives, and hundreds of counterfeit CDs and DVDs were also seized from a house in Sesto San Giovanni.
If found guilty, the men arrested could face 4 years in jail and large fines.
Downrevolution.net, like many other “warez” forums, posted Rapidshare.com and Megaupload.com links, allowing over 30,000 users to share copyrighted movies, music and more. The site stayed in business by selling banner ads and accepting donations in exchange for VIP status.
Jeremy Banks, IFPI’s Head of Internet Anti-Piracy Unit, added: “This shows a real commitment by the authorities to stopping online copyright theft, and it also highlights that forums like these are anything but immune from the law.”
The Guardia di Finanzia usually looks into intellectual property investigations for the Ministry of Finance.
