A one-page worksheet to decide how much protection your catalog needs before signing a content deal or a DRM contract: name the threat and the cost of one leak, match each protection layer to its threat (access control, AES-128, DRM, HDCP, watermarking), make the DRM-vs-token-auth call, avoid the four classic mistakes (cenc-only breaking FairPlay, the screen-recording myth, an open AES-128 key server, over-protecting low-value content), and run the two-question sanity check before you sign.
