After deciding to release their films like Soul, Mulan or Raya on Disney +, they want to return to the cinema and do so safely thanks to the cinema to distribute their films. They want to stop the pirates with this.

 

Disney recently filed a new anti-piracy patent with a blockchain-based distribution system to make movie filtering more difficult so that it is more difficult for pirates to intercept movies that are distributed in theaters. But the fact that you have registered it does not mean that you are going to use it yes or yes, because it will depend on the demand and that the cinemas can support the energy consumption and the update of the distribution systems.

Disney continues against the piracy of its works
A recently granted patent proposes a blockchain-based media distribution system that aims to prevent early piracy leaks. The idea is that if piracy becomes difficult in the first days, many people will go to theaters or pay a Disney + for Premium access. The patent in question, entitled 'Blockchain Configuration for Secure Content Delivery', focuses on the distribution of content to movie theaters.

 

Disney argues that by implementing a secure blockchain-based system, the distribution process can be more strictly controlled. Among other things, it will make it impossible for a movie to play before it reaches the intended location. The system can also be configured with other anti-piracy features such as tracking the number of times a movie is played to prevent unauthorized projections.

 

While Disney regularly refers to cinemas and projectors, it specifically states that the patent also applies to other "playback environments," as this anti-piracy system focuses on the content delivery and distribution process. It won't stop pirates from copying movies and TV shows directly from Disney +.
