About Piracy
Digital media piracy, the unlicensed use or theft of copyrighted content, is the greatest enemy to creative professionals, consumers, rights-holders and their distribution partners the world over. And today, piracy doesn’t occur in a vacuum: it’s often a consequence of flawed or inadequate cybersecurity practices; and while AI can be a tool in the fight against piracy, AI can also enable content theft and stealth attacks on a massive scale.
