TV Series Piracy Protection

A series is pirated one episode at a time

A film has one release window. A series has as many as it has episodes. Every new episode creates its own piracy peak, the finale creates the biggest one, and a new season sends viewers back looking for the earlier ones. Protection that treats a series like a single title misses most of the problem.

We protect series the way they are released: episode by episode, season by season. We have been finding and removing unauthorized copies for rights owners since 2013, and series are among the titles we watch most closely.

Where episodes leak

Pirated episodes spread through the same routes audiences use to look for them:

• Streaming and download sites, which list new episodes alongside the full back catalogue.
• Search engines, where "watch episode online" queries lead straight to pirate pages.
• Social platforms, where full episodes, key scenes and clips are uploaded and shared.
• Cyberlockers and file hosts, which hold single episodes and full-season packs.
• Telegram channels, which post new episodes as soon as they air and share them to large groups.

When a series is released in different territories on different dates, piracy fills the gap. Coverage runs in every language and territory the series reaches, including the ones still waiting for their premiere.

How we protect a series

We follow your release schedule. Monitoring is set up around your episode dates, so each episode is covered from the moment it airs.

We detect with precision. Every match is verified by our own technology and analysts before anything moves. Your own trailers, recaps and promotional clips sit on a whitelist that we set with you before enforcement begins.

We take it down. Confirmed copies go into takedown notices, delisting requests and platform escalation, carried through until the copy is gone. We act on the source as well as the link, so the file is removed at its origin, not just hidden from one search result.

We keep it down. Episodes come back under new domains and in new season packs. Re-uploads and mirror domains are tracked and each new copy is handled as it appears, for as long as the series is under protection.

The back catalogue

Earlier seasons do not stop being pirated when a new one starts; they often get busier. Full-season packs and re-uploads of older episodes stay under protection alongside the current release, so a returning viewer finds your official channel, not a pirate one.

What you see

Every link found, every removal confirmed, episode by episode, through a live dashboard and periodic reports your team can act on. Over a season you see where each episode surfaced, how quickly it was removed and which sites keep coming back. Our customer success team stays reachable throughout.

Who it is for

TV producers and studios, broadcasters, OTT platforms, and distributors and sales agents who sell series into new territories. Series protection is part of our Content Protection service; for films, see movie piracy protection.
