Anti-Piracy
Anti-piracy services provided by OpSec Security combat unauthorized online distribution of digital media. Content owners in the movie, music, and software industries are confronted with violations to licensing agreements, and infringements to copyrights. The challenge is to identify the suppliers of pirated copies, and to take action against their illegal distribution.
OpSec’s anti-piracy solutions include both detection and countermeasure services to prevent the unauthorized downloading of digital content, especially for illegal cyberlocker and streaming offers.
Piracy Detection Services
- Monitoring of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, portals, forums, and blogs to automatically generate alerts of illegal downloads
- Detection of first seeders offering a pirated copy in the BitTorrent network to enable quick kill response
- Tracking of IP addresses and downloading of pirated files for further investigation and legal actions
- International coverage of digital titles in multiple languages
Piracy Countermeasure Services
- Application of watermarking to prevent unauthorized copying of digital media
- Distribution of decoys in P2P networks to subvert distribution of pirated copies, and deliver targeted messages, e.g. warnings against illegal piracy
- Deletion of illegal downloads from sharehosting and videohosting sites such as rapidshare.com, files.to, uploaded.com, etc.
Anti-piracy services protect authorized distribution channels, and reduce the financial loss to online piracy. Providers of illegal copies are unmasked and evidence collected for legal action. In addition, action is taken to deter the distribution of pirated copies from downloading platforms including BitTorrent networks, sharehosting sites, and videohosting sites.
