Piracy Analytics

Piracy analytics detects and investigates unauthorized use of video by analyzing playback and access data for suspicious patterns, such as improbable concurrency, geographic spread, or watermark traces from leaked copies. It helps platforms identify sharing accounts and leak sources so they can respond with restrictions or takedowns.

What is Piracy Analytics?

Piracy analytics detects and investigates unauthorized use of video by analyzing playback and access data for patterns that indicate sharing or leaks. Where video analytics asks how content performs, piracy analytics asks whether it is being stolen.

How It Works

It examines signals such as improbable concurrent usage, a single account playing from many locations or devices, sudden spikes tied to leaks, and watermark identifiers recovered from copies found in the wild. Correlating these points to specific accounts or leak sources.

What It Enables

Identify sharers: Flag accounts whose usage patterns imply credential sharing.
Trace leaks: Use watermark data to attribute a leaked copy to its source.
Inform response: Trigger restrictions, warnings, or takedown action.

For Platform Owners

Piracy analytics closes the loop on protection: DRM and watermarking prevent and mark content, and analytics tells you when and by whom your defenses are being tested, so enforcement is targeted rather than guesswork.
