What are MUSO's anti-piracy solutions for film and TV?
MUSO Protect removes pirated copies with takedowns and Google de-listing. Leak Alert watches one film for a pre-release leak. Piracy by Title and Piracy by Industry are piracy intelligence: data on where and how much your titles are pirated. Many teams use more than one.
Is MUSO for studios and broadcasters, or independent producers?
Both. MUSO works with rights holders from multinational studios, streamers and broadcasters through to independent producers. Studios and broadcasters usually run MUSO Protect across a slate or catalogue, with Piracy by Title data to show where to focus; independents often start with Leak Alert on a single film.
Can MUSO cover TV series and a whole catalogue?
Yes. MUSO Protect covers films and series, down to individual episodes, for one title or a full catalogue. Piracy by Title measures piracy for 900,000+ film and TV titles, so a broadcaster can compare its shows and see which countries to prioritise.
What is anti-piracy?
Anti-piracy is the work of finding unauthorised copies of content online and getting them removed: takedown notices to piracy sites and hosts, de-listing from search engines, and escalation where sites ignore notices. MUSO combines it with piracy data, so enforcement goes where your titles are pirated most.
How do you prevent movie piracy?
No one can stop every copy, but you can limit the damage: watch for a leak before release, act the same day a copy appears, de-list links from Google, and focus takedowns on the sites and countries where your film is pirated most. Our guide explains how to plan this across the release window.
What is Leak Alert and what does it cost?
Leak Alert is the self-serve way into MUSO Protect for a single film. It watches for a pre-release or screener leak and alerts you with the proof if a copy appears. It costs $50 a month per film, plus taxes where applicable, rolling monthly, and you can cancel anytime.
Where does MUSO's piracy data come from?
MUSO measured over 185 billion visits to piracy websites in 2025, scanning more than 38 billion web pages around the clock. Piracy by Title covers 900,000+ film and TV titles; Piracy by Industry draws on 70,000+ of the busiest piracy sites.
How do I get access to the data?
Piracy by Title and Piracy by Industry are online dashboards, licensed by subscription for your team. Using the data in public reports needs a separate licence. Talk to our team for a demo or to arrange access.
How is MUSO Protect priced for a slate or catalogue?
A single film is priced per title and can be set up online. Slates and catalogues are quoted after a short scoping call, based on the number of titles, the territories and the level of service.
