SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - November 16, 2017) - Nowadays "e-learning" is pretty much of a common concept, being indeed several sources for it; from online training, to free or pay streaming platforms. Nonetheless and with these great sources of distribution comes also the problem of copyright infringement.

"Most common e-learning and streaming platforms handle the responsibility to users and authors, not providing any real intellectual property protection. And the truth is that when a copyright infringement is found be the latter damage has already been done." Says Rusty Patterson publications manager at Virginia E-Learning.

Many authors get discouraged by one of two things; not getting enough attention is streaming platform for achieving any significant revenue, or piracy freely distributing their work with no benefit to them (publicity or other). And people stealing copyrighted material to sell it in popular platforms is also not unheard of.

The first is particularly true when talking about very specialized content; anything related to engineering or any other industry niche. This type of material is indeed valuable, as many professionals do need to be up to date and the cost of personalized training could be quite significant, even for big companies. But in the other hand, by being targeted to a reduced audience, it's rarely the focus of attention in streaming platforms.

At the end the only protection authors have is hoping for their work to be out of the statistics and not becoming object of piracy, or if it does, that the damage taken from it is minimal.

At glance this seems to be a loosing battle, as some companies even try to discourage piracy by offering online training at prices well below its actual value; $20.0 to $5.0 USD in the lower end.

Virginia E-Learning focuses in the development of training material for specialized industries, such as civil engineering and language programming, but most notoriously structural engineering. All complex subjects indeed valuable for professionals of the industry, but simultaneously scarce when compared with most of the e-learning tutorials produced by several other companies; since creating this kind of content can be rather expensive.

Due all these Virginia E-Learning has always put great emphasis on creating a secure way of distributing this type of training material, of course, for the benefit of both the authors and the professionals who need of precise and thorough information.

And while it may be true that no software protection is perfect, according to Virginia E-Learning the results offered by their secure media solution are staggering, diminishing piracy of e-learning content almost to a 100%.

It's not just about enforcing intellectual property rights, it's also about income...

Of course this isn't just about enforcing intellectual property rights, it's also about income produced from e-learning material, according to Virginia E-Learning, authors creating their content under their secure media can earn as much as 10 times from their work, than if they were to distribute it across most common e-learning and streaming platforms.

The reason for this may be obvious, unauthorized distribution of copyrighted content happens not only across the internet but across companies, as multiple employees can be trained from one single e-book series of e-learning videos. This of course benefits the companies, as reduces the training cost by quite a significant margin, but greatly affects authors by diminishing the revenue that might have came from teaching multiple users.

"Authors taking advantage of our secure media have found major benefits, as they feel more encouraged to create better content more frequently" Says Rusty Patterson.

This of course benefits both parties, as end users will obtain better quality training material from highly motivated professionals.

Regarding the cost, having one's work protected by this secure media is actually free when signing up with Virginia E-Learning, as they provide a distribution platform of their own.

Authors of e-learning material interested in having their work published and distributed under this secure media can contact Virginia E-Learning.
