Why can’t Korean dramas be cached? Analyze copyright protection and platform strategies
In recent years, Korean dramas have set off a craze for watching dramas around the world, but many viewers have found that whether it is Netflix, iQiyi or other platforms, Korean dramas are almost impossible to cache for offline viewing. This phenomenon has sparked widespread discussion. This article will analyze the reasons from three dimensions: copyright protection, platform strategy and user demand, and sort out the popular Korean drama topics on the Internet in the past 10 days to help readers understand this phenomenon more comprehensively.
1. Three major reasons why Korean dramas cannot be cached
1.Strict copyright protection agreement: When Korean producers sign contracts with international platforms, they usually attach strict copyright terms and restrict caching functions to prevent the spread of piracy.
2.Platform regional operation strategy: The broadcast rights of some Korean dramas are limited to specific regions. Caching may lead to cross-regional transmission, so the platform will turn off this feature.
3.Maximize advertising revenue: Many platforms rely on advertising to make money. Offline viewing will reduce advertising exposure and affect revenue.
