Protecting Your Content on Zomra: What You Can Actually Control
Can your content be downloaded and shared without permission? See the access control and screen-recording tools actually available on Zomra.
Many instructors worry about what happens to their content once it's uploaded: can it be downloaded and shared without permission? This article explains the actual control tools Zomra provides in realistic terms, without absolute promises of complete protection that no digital system can genuinely guarantee.
Access control, not a promise to fully prevent piracy
No digital system guarantees absolutely preventing copying or sharing, and any claim to that effect is inaccurate. What Zomra actually provides is a tangible reduction in the likelihood of unauthorized downloading and sharing, through protected video streaming and precise control over viewing or download permission for each lesson individually.
Revoking a student's access at any time
An instructor can revoke any student's access to the content at any moment, whether for violating usage terms or for any other reason the instructor deems appropriate. This control gives the instructor an immediate action tool instead of waiting until the course ends to address suspected misuse.
Screen-recording restrictions on supported devices
Restrictions limit the ability to screen-record or share content on devices that support these restrictions, raising the difficulty level against unauthorized copying, without this representing an absolute technical guarantee covering every device and case.
Marketing license versus content protection
There's a balance worth paying attention to between protecting content and granting Zomra a limited marketing license to use the instructor's name, image, and excerpts from their course to promote the platform, a license that ends within a specified period after the course is removed or the account is closed. This doesn't conflict with the instructor's full ownership of their original content, but it's a detail worth knowing precisely rather than assuming absolute ownership with no published exception at all.
Frequently asked questions
Do these tools prevent piracy 100%?
No, and no digital system actually offers that guarantee. The available tools reduce the likelihood of unauthorized downloading and sharing and give the instructor direct control over access.
Can an instructor allow downloading for one specific video but not others?
Yes, viewing or download permission is managed at the individual lesson level, not only at the level of the entire course.
Do protection restrictions vary depending on the device used?
Yes, screen-recording restrictions depend on the device itself supporting them, meaning the practical level of protection may vary slightly between one operating system and another.
