PiracyTrack - monitoring of the Web for all forms of piracy

Pay-TV accounts for an increasing share of the world’s total sports coverage and therefore sports fans have more incentive than ever before to seek and use pirated content on the Web. Given that there are now over a trillion Web pages, that means that tracking piracy is a huge challenge.

futures sport + entertainment uses patented software to search across the Web rather than adopting the sports industry’s current approach of monitoring a small number of preselected Websites. This means we promptly and accurately identify more instances of piracy than any other agency.


Therefore we can inform clients on issues such as:

1. The extent of piracy across the Web
2. The relative threat posed by different types of piracy: Unicast, Sopcast, Sumtorrent, Video-sharing (such as YouTube) and logo copyright infringement
3. What is the original source of the pirated material? This will help you to address the causes, not the consequences, of piracy
4. The importance of YouTube relative to other, newer video-sharing sites

We can identify planned piracy before a sports event has even taken place, through digitally monitoring the conversations of the pirates in Web chat rooms and forums. We therefore help you tackle the problem at source so that not only will you know the extent of piracy, but also that it is minimised.
