Piracy

Detect and stop digital piracy where attackers illegally distribute or reproduce copyrighted content, harming revenue, brand value, and intellectual property.

Disrupt Digital Piracy at Scale

Digital piracy involves the unauthorised distribution, streaming, or sharing of copyrighted content across websites, torrent platforms, file sharing services, and social channels. For media companies, content owners, and digital platforms, piracy directly impacts revenue, licensing value, and contractual obligations, while also exposing customers to malware, scams, and unsafe content.

Piracy ecosystems are highly adaptive. Content is rapidly mirrored, re uploaded, and redistributed across multiple platforms to avoid detection and takedown. Effective disruption requires continuous monitoring and coordinated enforcement at scale.

unphish helps organisations identify and disrupt piracy activity by combining advanced detection techniques with integrated enforcement workflows.

Common Channels Used for Digital Piracy

Online piracy operates across many digital platforms where copyrighted content is illegally distributed, streamed, or shared to large audiences

Illegal Streaming Platforms

Websites and embedded video players that provide unauthorised streaming of movies, TV shows, sports events, or premium digital content.

Torrent & Peer-to-Peer Networks

Decentralised sharing networks that allow users to upload and download pirated files directly between devices.

File Hosting & Download Sites

Cloud storage and file hosting services used to store pirated media and distribute it through public download links.

Social Media & Content Sharing Channels

Pages, groups, and channels on social platforms used to promote, share, or redirect users to pirated content sources.

Operational Workflow

How unphish detects piracy activity

unphish uses a combination of automated monitoring and intelligence led analysis to identify pirated content and unauthorised distribution at scale. Detection capabilities include:

Step 1

Pirated Content Discovery

Continuous monitoring of torrent indexes, peer to peer networks, and file sharing platforms.
Step 2

Streaming Site Monitoring

Monitoring of streaming sites and embedded players distributing copyrighted material.

Step 3

Platform & Social Channel Tracking

Computer vision and image recognition to identify logos, visual assets, and branded content.
Step 4

Piracy Infrastructure Mapping

Analysis of site structures and content reuse to uncover mirrored and related piracy sites.

Step 5

Intelligence & Enforcement Reporting

Correlation of piracy findings with domains, hosting providers, and advertising networks.

Why unphish

Why Customers Choose unphish

unphish turns fragmented, reactive threat response into a single, automated workflow. Faster detection, consistent takedowns, full visibility.
unphish Fragmented / Reactive Approach
Threat Visibility Continuous monitoring across domains, hosting, social platforms, and attacker infrastructure. Limited visibility based on complaints or isolated alerts.
Detection Speed Automated detection and risk scoring identify threats early. Threats are discovered late, often after impact.
Infrastructure Insight Deep analysis reveals campaign links, infrastructure reuse, and attacker patterns. Little or no visibility into shared infrastructure or repeat activity.
Enforcement Execution Coordinated workflows enable faster, consistent takedown across platforms. Manual submissions slow down response and create inconsistent outcomes.
Verification & Control Automated validation confirms removal and tracks reappearance. No structured verification or monitoring after takedown.
Operational Visibility Unified dashboards provide clear status, timelines, and reporting. Siloed tools limit visibility and create operational gaps.

How unphish enforces and disrupts piracy

unphish integrates enforcement directly into the platform to enable rapid and repeatable disruption of piracy operations.

For each piracy incident, unphish automatically captures and preserves evidence, including visual proof of infringement, content references, hosting details, and distribution methods. This evidence supports defensible enforcement actions across a wide range of service providers.

Why piracy protection matters

Piracy is not just a content issue. It undermines revenue, weakens licensing models, and exposes users to additional cyber risks.

unphish helps organisations protect their digital assets by reducing the availability and visibility of pirated content, disrupting large scale distribution networks, and supporting rights holders with clear, auditable enforcement activity.

By combining advanced detection, including computer vision and image recognition, with coordinated takedown workflows, unphish delivers a practical and scalable approach to combating online piracy.
