Back to case studies
The problem
Creators were facing repeated leaks of paid content across mirror sites, forums and search results.
Scope
Leak sites, forums, hosts, search engines and re-upload monitoring.
Actions taken
- Set up monitoring to identify mirror sites and repeat uploads.
- Filed coordinated takedown requests with hosts and platforms.
- Requested search de-indexing to reduce visibility after source action.
The outcome
Unauthorised copies were removed at scale and ongoing monitoring reduced the visibility of new leaks.
- Leaked content was consistently removed across source sites and search.
- Re-upload monitoring helped catch repeat exposure.
- Creators received a repeatable workflow for protecting premium content.
