From the Camera to the Consumer – Monday, April 9 at 4:30-5:15 p.m. in CMIP Debate Theater SU10804CM | |

Session Description: This year, global IP traffic is expected to pass a zettabyte per month with IP-based video making up at least 70% of this total. While the delivery of video moves increasingly to the internet, content piracy is still a major problem with a detrimental impact on artists, studios and, ultimately, consumers through offset costs. This CM|IP Panel brings together experts from the spheres of content security to look at the current state of the market and examine the emerging trends that content owners and operators need to consider. It also looks at the legal and technological avenues that can protect IP and examine the role that the wider industry can play in making content available for monetization. | ||
