Common card · No. 238384

Widevine is a proprietary digital rights management (DRM) system that is included in most Chromium-based web browsers and in the Android operating system. It is used by streaming services (including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Peacock, and Hulu) to allow authorized users to view media while preventing them from creating unauthorized copies. Widevine was originally developed in 1999 by Internet Direct Media, who later rebranded as Widevine Technologies. Following several rounds of funding, the company was acquired by Google in 2010 for an undisclosed amount.
