Faculty laptops, editors' Drive folders and shared admin logins leak courses too. Narrow roles, one institute-owned home for raw files, same-day exits and watermarked staff logins close the gaps.

Widevine L3 stops casual downloading but can't be a paid course's only protection: it is software-only, was publicly broken in 2019 and often doesn't block screen recording.
Forensic watermarking hides an identifier in video that survives copying, so a leak can be traced to a copy, account or session. Most course sellers need account-level tracing.
