Welcome to Piracy Monitor
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.
Piracy Monitor is an authoritative resource to help rights holders better understand the risks associated with piracy, the methods used by pirates, technologies that help detect it, and about available countermeasures and practices against it.
