Gaia’s monthly visitors number more than 2.5 million with tens of millions of views. It currently offers movies and television shows available for community members to watch within the Gaia Cinemas.

Designed to entertain and enable interactivity, Gaia Online streams Flash-based titles to members using Windows PCs or Mac computers. Widevine secures the content during streaming and after decryption to protect against piracy tools, such as screen scrapers and stream recorders.
