How can technology effectively protect the copyright of online tutoring classes by preventing unauthorized recording?

With the rapid development of technology, more and more tutoring and learning centers are moving to the cloud , establishing online learning  platforms to provide educational services. In this digital age, AI technology not only optimizes the learning process but also becomes a learning assistant for students, helping them learn and absorb knowledge more effectively.

Although online platforms make it easier for students to attend and make up missed classes, they also gradually allow malicious individuals to misuse the course content uploaded by tutoring centers, engaging in copyright-infringing actions such as screen recording and screenshotting. They even use the recorded content for secondary use and sell it online.

For tutoring centers, the protection of intellectual property rights is particularly important. Therefore, a good cloud-based online learning platform needs to have technology to prevent screen recording, protecting course content from illegal copying and dissemination. This not only ensures the interests of educational institutions but also maintains the quality of teaching and the copyright of the teaching staff.

Anti-piracy technology: the key to protecting copyright in cloud-based tutoring 

The protection of intellectual property rights in the field of online education is an issue that cannot be ignored. With the evolution of technology, copying and reposting content has become relatively easy, but this also brings the risk of illegal piracy. This is especially important when tutoring centers and educational institutions invest a lot of time and resources to create high-quality teaching content, ensuring that these contents are not copied and reposted by unauthorized third parties.

This is where anti-piracy technology comes into play. Stream recording is a method of recording streaming video content through screen recording software. This method allows some people to easily screen-record and share paid or copyrighted teaching content. But with advanced anti-piracy technology, this behavior can be effectively prevented.

Anti-piracy technology usually has two main functions:

1. Automatic detection and identification:

• Able to identify whether screen recording software is running.
• Once such software is detected, the system will automatically stop playing the video or issue a warning to the user.

2. Content protection and source tracking:

• Even if the teaching content is illegally recorded by piracy software, the technology ensures that IDs, watermarks, or other markings added to the video are non-removable.
• These special markings make illegally reprinted content traceable to the source, helping to prosecute copyright infringement.
