Did the UFC solve streaming piracy?

[num123]

The review will be like Geolocation not matching accounts and or number of time the ID appears?

Not sure, just going off of assumptions.

When dana white decides to pay his fighters a fair, I'll pay my fair share in the ppv's.

[Tony D'Amato]

Now does this work for european streams?

 

[levitate]

Nerds will simply develop an open-sourced “cleansing” software that searches for and blocks out the barcode.

Receive incoming stream, run through “cleansing” software, rebroadcast with barcodes pixelated/blacked out. There would be a delay of course, but with a good rig shyt would be minimal...

Don’t fukk with nerds...

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

As a software developer it seems like this would be easy to circumvent:
1. Identify frames with the ID.
2. Remove them.
3. Stream the others.

1 isn't even that hard. OCR is pretty advanced already. If you bolster it with some refined AI to catch distorted/rotated characters it's game over.

Facts. Which makes me wonder...why did he announce this???


He should’ve just implemented it and killed the streams and let the pirates try to guess how to defeat it. There’s literally no upside to announcing this
