Does Bel Ami Use Forensic Watermarking In Their Videos?
-
I recently came across claims that some video platforms embed unique, invisible watermarks in their videos for each user. This means if a video gets leaked, they can trace it back to the original account.
I’m specifically wondering if Bel Ami uses this kind of forensic watermarking in their videos , because their recent released video can't be found on internet , so I purchase membership , wanna share their video , but afraid might get caught ? -
I'm gonna be honest with you @jayjay2-0
Digital watermarking is a real thing, but it is very expensive. Its financial viability depends on the amount of content produced versus the number of clients. More often than not it is not viable. Another studio that claims to use this technique is RFC, and their videos keep popping up every week.
There is one case in particular involving the platform JFF, they noticed that there were specific creators being leaked almost simultaneously, they investigated and narrowed it to one single account that was subscribed to all the mentioned leaks, they started serving digitally watermarked videos exclusively for his account, and later more leaked videos surfaced, and they matched with his account.
This is a more reasonable use case, if they were to do this for every subscriber it would cost more than they make with the subscriptions.
So long story short, I call it cap, Bel Ami say they do it, but I doubt it's true. But it's possible, and the embeded data usually includes the user ID and IP address.
If you use your own credit card and access the site without a VPN, there is a risk of you being traceable.
