U.S. retirement planning content brand Brett & Ethan has become a Haihaisoft DRM-X 5.0 customer. The team plans to use DRM-X 5.0 to protect video courses and other digital content and provide authorized users with access through the ZJGet secure browser.

About Brett & Ethan: Sharing Retirement Income Planning Knowledge Through Video

Brett & Ethan focuses on retirement income planning and shares its approach through books, films, and video content. The team traveled across the United States and worked with economists and hedge fund researchers to develop Income Calibration™, a method based on the principle that retirement income should adjust dynamically with inflation. Its content portfolio includes the bestselling book Wealth Beyond Wall Street, the documentaries The Baby Boomer Dilemma and The Retirement Deception, and membership courses for paying students.

For a team that serves its audience through specialized content, video is both an important way to share knowledge and a digital asset that requires substantial time and resources to produce. When courses are offered to members or paying users, managing viewing permissions and reducing the risks of screen-recorded redistribution and account sharing become important considerations in content delivery.

The DRM-X 5.0 Solution: Manageable Access Control for Course Content

A common piracy problem in paid membership education is that premium documentaries and exclusive courses can easily be screen-recorded and shared privately. Without effective access control, paid content may leak, undermining membership benefits and course revenue.

DRM-X 5.0's core protection capabilities directly address Brett & Ethan's requirements without the need for complex system integration. The platform encrypts each video file individually, protecting the underlying content against unauthorized decryption, copying, and distribution. Its system-level screen recording prevention mechanism blocks unauthorized capture through screen recorders, screenshot tools, and live-streaming software.

License-based access control also makes it possible to define each course's access period and maximum number of plays. These limits establish clear usage boundaries, reduce account sharing and multi-user access, and help prevent secondary distribution of paid course content.

About the DRM-X 5.0 Platform

DRM-X 5.0 is Haihaisoft's next-generation DRM platform. Built on more than 20 years of digital rights management experience, it uses a new security architecture to protect digital assets including video, audio, PDF documents, images, and web content. Its key capabilities include:

• Industry-standard AES encryption combined with license obfuscation and anti-debugging technology to resist cracking;
• Smart screen recording prevention, triple watermark tracking, display output restrictions, and hardware-bound licenses;
• Local file encryption, so original files do not need to be uploaded to the service provider's servers, plus detection and protection against high-risk environments such as virtual machines and cloud desktops;
• Online playback and local offline learning across Windows, macOS, Android, and the ZJGet secure browser.
