Why Your LMS Should Have Measures Against Data Piracy

Have you ever seen a house with no locks and doors and other security measures, to stop intruders? Me, neither. It is imperative that you follow some security measures to keep your dear people and assets safe. So why should you treat your online teaching portal differently? You should not, we bet. So why do the same when it comes to data piracy?

What Is Data Piracy?

Data piracy is the act of unlawful handling of any online content. Handling in terms of data piracy means copying, reproduction and distribution of the content for personal gain or to interfere with the business model. Data piracy falls under the violation of Intellectual Property (IP) Act which deals with infringement of copyrighted contents available online.

Why Should You Take Data Piracy Seriously?

For any and all e-learning schools, the unique selling point is always their study materials and mock or practice tests. These are the factors which decide the superiority of one test preparation school over another. So, more often these contents are considered sensitive or only for study purpose. But in the digital world, it is really hard to identify the impending threats of data piracy, especially if you are not well familiar with the threats. Moreover often some people with malicious intent can sign up on your teaching portal as learners with fake details to interfere with your regular business, and it’s really hard to tell the difference without experience.

These instances will not only result in the unlawful distribution of your content it will also block your source of revenue, sending your business in a downward spiral.
