At the CDSA Summit @ Los Angeles, GeoComply’s GM of Media & Entertainment, James Clark, introduced a groundbreaking approach to combat VPN-based location spoofing in streaming. His presentation, “Going Beyond IP Geolocation,” showcased GeoComply Core, a solution designed to determine a user’s true location beyond just their IP address. With over 1.5 billion VPN users worldwide—more than half using VPNs to bypass content restrictions—Clark emphasized the urgent need for more sophisticated geo-blocking measures to protect streaming rights and business models.
As streaming platforms face growing threats from advanced location-masking tools, GeoComply’s technology offers a more precise method of enforcing geographic restrictions. By leveraging device-level data, the solution not only strengthens content security but also provides valuable insights for streaming services and rights holders. With its first streaming client already onboard, GeoComply’s approach is set to redefine how platforms safeguard their content in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
