In a strategic move to safeguard its growing content library, Lionsgate Play Asia has selected NAGRA Multi-DRM, a core solution of the NAGRA Venturi ecosystem, to protect its premium OTT streaming service. The announcement, made jointly by NAGRAVISION and Lionsgate Play, underscores the increasing importance of robust content security in India's rapidly expanding streaming market, where piracy threats continue to evolve.
NAGRA Multi-DRM is designed to provide studio-grade content protection across devices and platforms, reducing exposure to illegal distribution and simplifying compliance with studio requirements. By leveraging this technology, Lionsgate Play aims to accelerate subscriber growth while maintaining the integrity of its diverse content mix, which includes premium Hollywood titles and acclaimed global and regional stories.
Rohit Jain, Founder at Lionsgate Play Asia, emphasized the strategic importance of this partnership: "Protecting the premium stories and entertainment we bring to our subscribers is fundamental to our growth as an OTT platform. Partnering with NAGRAVISION gives us a scalable, future-ready solution that not only safeguards our content across devices but also gives us the flexibility to evolve as piracy tactics continue to change."
India represents one of the most challenging markets for content security, with sophisticated piracy operations posing significant threats to subscriber revenue and platform growth. NAGRA Multi-DRM is proven to deliver security that protects revenue and enables growth through scalable protection. For Lionsgate Play, this solution will help identify and mitigate illegal distribution earlier in the value chain while strengthening control over content usage across devices and networks.
The broader NAGRA Venturi ecosystem offers Lionsgate Play a path to integrate additional security technologies over time, creating a more unified and intelligence-led approach to security. This strategic framework is designed to identify, prioritize, and respond to emerging piracy threats, ensuring long-term protection for the platform's content and brand value.
Morten Solbakken, Executive Vice President and COO of NAGRAVISION, commented on the collaboration: "Lionsgate Play is a premium service with a strong and growing audience in India. By deploying NAGRA Multi-DRM and gaining access to the broader NAGRA Venturi capabilities, Lionsgate Play is taking a strategic approach to content security that helps protect premium content, preserve revenue, strengthen studio and distribution partnerships, and support long-term growth."
This partnership highlights NAGRAVISION's continued expansion in high-growth streaming markets and its commitment to helping content owners and service providers turn security into a value driver, not just a line of defense. As Lionsgate Play continues to build its subscriber base across eight Asian markets, the implementation of NAGRA Multi-DRM ensures that its premium content remains secure, fostering trust among subscribers and partners alike.
