Online Piracy Detection

Maximize viewership revenue by safeguarding live events and video on demand content

As demand for high-quality, digital content continues to grow exponentially, content owners are adapting and shifting distribution strategies to meet the evolving landscape. There are hundreds of streaming Video on Demand (VOD) platforms in the United States alone, and that number only continues to grow.

Piracy is one of the largest threats to content owners, broadcasters, and operators. Live sports broadcasts, software, video games, and newly released premium movies and television shows are prime targets for pirates. Pirate services offer user-friendly, sleek interfaces with vast media libraries that directly compete against legal distribution channels. These services are searchable by title, genre, country, language, sporting event, and offer free access or low-cost subscriptions to thousands of movies, television series, live channel broadcasts and premium sporting events from around the world.

Irdeto’s scalable, cloud-based automated crawling technology and team of multi-disciplinary specialists are highly effective at combatting online piracy. Irdeto has a successful track record in rapidly identifying and disrupting piracy while leveraging established networks to track down pirates and their supply chains to help our customers safeguard their valuable assets.

Irdeto offers Online Piracy Detection, an anti-piracy content protection solution that maximizes viewership revenue by safeguarding live events and video on demand content from unauthorized access and redistribution.

Irdeto’s Search Engine Link Removal (SELR) Service removes infringing links across Google, Bing, and Yandex search engines. SELR Service uses keyword searches in multiple languages, mimicking end-user behavior and search techniques. This ensures that those casual users seeking free online sources will find it more difficult and help drive them to seeking authorized platforms.

As live events are approaching, Irdeto leverages the Google Service to de-list links that are advertising pirated streams to upcoming events, thus making it more difficult for users to find options for illegal consumption.
