Rumble.com operates as an open video platform underpinned by a proprietary rights management technology. This innovative technology employs a machine learning-based DRM algorithm known as Rumble Rank, which efficiently automates the processes of verification, clearance, discovery, and licensing for user-generated content (UGC) videos. Remarkably, within a short span of less than three years, the platform has risen to become one of the top 50 video destinations, as reported by ComScore. In response to legal challenges, particularly the Viacom lawsuit, YouTube relinquished its rights management capabilities, leading to the introduction of Multi Channel Networks (MCNs) that now handle video management on its platform. By sacrificing control over rights management, YouTube has found itself unable to scale its rights management systems algorithmically and cannot offer unbiased distribution or enable publishers to monetize video embed revenue. While platforms like iTunes, Netflix, and Amazon apply basic DRM measures for their long-form content, generally linked to a limited number of studios, the challenge remains unsolved for the vast array of videos being created by everyday users. Consequently, the need for an effective solution to address the complexities of DRM in the age of widespread user-generated content is more pressing than ever.
