Bangalore: Google has decided to buy Seattle-based anti-piracy software firm Widevine in a offer to boost its online video services, the world's dominant internet search company said on its official blog.
Google's Vice President Mario Queiroz said, "We're excited to welcome the Widevine team to Google, and together we'll work to improve access to great video content across the web."
Widevine's digital-rights management software is used by 250 million Web-connected TVs and other Web-connected devices to protect video content from unauthorized use. No price was disclosed, but the software firm has raised more than $65 million from investors, including Cisco Systems.
