Social Media Piracy Monitoring

Where piracy meets the biggest audience

Social platforms are where audiences spend their time, and pirates know it. A full film uploaded as a video, an episode split into numbered parts, a match restreamed live, a post that says "full movie in the comments": each one puts a pirated copy in front of an audience that would never go looking for a piracy site.

Social media piracy monitoring finds that content and gets it removed. We have been finding and removing unauthorized copies for rights owners since 2013, and social platforms are one of the surfaces we watch every day.

What piracy looks like on social platforms

Social piracy takes more forms than a single uploaded file:

• Full uploads of films, episodes, matches, albums and books, sometimes split into parts or disguised with altered titles.
• Clips and cut-downs, key scenes and highlights shortened to stay under platform checks.
• Live restreams of matches, concerts and events broadcast from a screen or a capture device.
• Link posts, comments, groups and profiles that send viewers out to pirate streaming sites, cyberlockers and Telegram channels.

How we monitor social platforms

We look the way audiences look. Your titles are searched the way people search and share them: by title, by translated titles, by the nicknames and misspellings pirates use to avoid detection, in every language and territory your content reaches.

We detect with precision. Every match is verified by our own technology and analysts. Before enforcement begins we set a whitelist with you covering your official accounts, your creator and influencer partners and your promotional clips, so fan engagement you want is never touched.

We take it down. Each platform has its own copyright reporting process. We handle them for you, with reports filed through the right channel, followed up, and escalated where a first report is not enough. Our standing as a trusted partner with major platforms is what gets content removed, and removed quickly.

We keep it down. Removed uploads come back under new accounts and new titles. Re-uploads and repeat accounts are tracked and each new copy is handled as it appears, for as long as your content is under protection.

Social is one surface of many

A social post is often only the front door: the link leads to a pirate site, a cyberlocker or a Telegram channel. Our monitoring follows that route, so the copy behind the link is dealt with as well as the post in front of it. Social media monitoring runs as part of our Content Protection service, alongside search engines, streaming sites, cyberlockers and messaging channels.

If your concern is fake accounts and impersonation of your brand rather than pirated content, see Digital Brand Protection.
