Streaming Smarter: How AI Shut Down Piracy at Scale

A global entertainment company cut takedown times by 75% and removed over 12K infringing videos through AI automation.

A Globally Recognized Entertainment Company

A globally recognized entertainment company faced rising digital piracy, with unauthorized clips and full-length videos appearing on TikTok, YouTube, and unlicensed platforms. Manual enforcement efforts couldn't keep up with the volume and speed of infringement.

To protect its IP without disrupting global releases, the company partnered with BrandVerse Guardian, integrating AI-powered video analysis and real-time enforcement into its protection strategy.

Challenge

Pirated video content was proliferating across platforms, threatening both revenue and reputation. Manual enforcement workflows could not keep up with the volume and variety of infringing uploads.

Key hurdles included:

Reactive Enforcement: Pirated clips stayed online for days before takedown notices could be filed.

Edited Uploads: Infringers used filters, overlays, and crops to bypass platform detection systems.

Scattered Monitoring: Infringements spread across dozens of platforms with no centralized oversight.
