Sell Digital Courses and Limit Access by Device Using PC-Binding DRM Technology
Meta Description
Want to protect your digital courses from piracy? Use PC-binding DRM to secure content and control who watches what, where, and on which device.
Every time I released a new course, my inbox blew up with piracy reports.
Strangers on forums were offering full access to my premium videos for free.
And it wasn't just hurting sales it was gutting my motivation to create.
I'd tried password-protecting files.
Then switched to cloud players with paywalls.
Even added legal disclaimers.
Still got ripped.
Then I found VeryPDF Easy DRM Protector and everything changed.
This tool didn't just slap a password on files.
It straight-up locked my content to specific devices.
So even if someone shared the video, without my say-so, no one else could open it.
Now, I sleep better knowing my hard work isn't fuelling some Telegram piracy channel.
Let's talk about how this works and why it's a game-changer.
What Is Easy DRM Protector and Who's It For?
If you sell digital courses, premium PDFs, private coaching videos, or e-learning bundles, you're the target audience.
Also: musicians, photographers, marketers, even YouTubers releasing paid packs this tool is your vault.
Easy DRM Protector isn't just encryption. It's control.
It encrypts your content into standalone EXE files and gives you options on how and where that content gets played.
I don't need my users to install special software.
They just double-click the file, and it asks for the playback password I provide them.
That's it.
And if they try to open it on a different device? Doesn't work.
Feature Breakdown The 3 That Sold Me
1. PC-Binding Mode (a.k.a. Piracy Killer)
This is the real MVP.
When I enable PC-binding, the password only works on one machine.
Here's how I use it:
-
A user buys access to my training series.
-
I encrypt the videos with PC-binding.
-
They get a password that works only on their laptop.
-
They try to share it? Doesn't work anywhere else.
I tested it myself by sending a file to my friend.
He couldn't open it even with the correct password.
Device-locked. No loopholes.
2. Smart Anti-Screen Recording
I'm paranoid and for good reason.
What's to stop someone from recording the screen?
Turns out, Easy DRM thought of that too.
You can:
-
Auto-detect and block screen recorders.
-
Forbid access in Virtual Machines.
-
Disable playback when internet is connected (so nothing gets streamed out).
Bonus: You can even block specific apps like OBS, Bandicam, etc., during playback.
I ran a test with Camtasia recording in the background.
Playback refused to start.
I was stunned. In a good way.
3. Online Password Blacklist
Ever had a refund request from a buyer...
Then spotted your course on a piracy forum?
Yeah. Me too.
With this feature, I can blacklist that buyer's password even after the fact.
I just:
-
Add their password to the blacklist.
-
Upload it to my web server.
-
The next time they open the video?
Access denied.
No re-encryption needed.
It's seamless and brutal (in the best way).
Other Features I Use (and Love)
-
Encrypt all file types not just video. PDFs, audio, photos, you name it.
-
Watermarking float text like "JohnDoe@gmail.com" across the video to discourage leaking.
-
Custom Players I branded my own video player with my logo and support link.
-
Advertisement Prompts lets users know where to buy or get playback support. It's a direct funnel.
-
EXE/GEM Packaging no installs. Files just run, ask for password, done.
And yeah no video conversion.
No waiting. No temp files.
Just encrypt and share.
Use Cases: More Than Just Courses
I've used this tool to secure:
-
One-on-one consultation call recordings
-
PDF eBooks and downloadable workbooks
-
High-res photography portfolios
-
Beta versions of apps I don't want leaked
-
Exclusive music demos before release
One client of mine is a lawyer.
He now uses Easy DRM to send court document reviews to clients, locked by device.
No more "accidental forwarding."
Another is a coach selling life transformation sessions.
Her content stays confidential and monetised.
Exactly how it should be.
Other Tools I Tried Before And Why They Failed
-
Password-protected ZIPs easy to unzip and share.
-
Gumroad links password could be shared.
-
Streaming via Vimeo private links screen recorders still worked.
-
Membership sites monthly cost, still not foolproof.
With Easy DRM, it's a one-time setup.
I stay in control.
No subscriptions.
No extra software.
No excuses.
Why I Recommend It (And You Should Too)
If you're sick of:
-
Losing money to piracy
-
Chasing down leakers
-
Watching your content go viral for the wrong reasons
Then VeryPDF Easy DRM Protector is the best decision you'll make.
I've doubled down on my content this year because I know it's protected.
I'm not afraid to share exclusive material.
And I no longer worry about "how long until this ends up on Reddit."
The tech just works.
No fluff.
No nonsense.
