Piracy peaks twice. The second peak is bigger.
The first peak follows cinema release. The second comes when a high-quality digital copy appears, and it can be up to twice as high. That date is on your release calendar, so you can plan for it.

Anti-piracy software questions
What is MUSO's anti-piracy software for movies and TV shows?
MUSO Protect is anti-piracy software and a takedown service in one. Automated piracy detection finds copies of your films and series across piracy sites, social platforms and search engines; each is verified, then a takedown notice goes to the site or host and the link is de-listed from Google. Premium adds an analyst who runs your campaign.
Can MUSO protect a full studio slate or catalogue?
Yes. Custom plans cover frontline releases and catalogue titles together, with regional enforcement strategies, high-volume protection and piracy intelligence on your titles. MUSO works with rights holders from multinational studios and streamers through to independent producers.
Do you protect TV series as well as films?
Yes. Broadcasters and distributors protect series season by season and episode by episode, across the same piracy sites, cyberlockers, torrent indexes and streaming sites, with Google de-listing. Piracy by Title shows which of your shows are pirated most, and in which countries, so takedowns go where they matter.
Can you monitor a film or series before it airs?
Yes. Protect can watch for leaks of screeners, festival copies and pre-air episodes, and start takedowns the same day a copy appears. Talk to our team to set it up around your release dates.
What types of piracy do you remove?
MUSO removes infringing copies from cyberlockers, download sites, torrent indexes and streaming sites, and de-lists them from search engines as standard. Social media piracy monitoring and user-generated content platforms are available as add-on modules.
How effective are piracy takedowns?
It depends on how each site responds to notices, which MUSO monitors closely. Where a site ignores them, MUSO de-lists the links from Google, which removes them from search and lifts official sources in results, and Premium can escalate through third-party intermediaries.
What do I see in the anti-piracy dashboard?
Live infringement activity, a record of every takedown sent, exportable reports for stakeholders, user access for your team, and a tool to submit links you find yourself.
What reports can we share with our legal team and executives?
The dashboard records every takedown and de-listing, and exports reports you can share with legal, executives and partners. Premium adds an analyst who reports on progress through the release.
How is MUSO Protect priced?
Per title, per month, based on the number of titles, the territories and the level of service. Slates and catalogues are quoted after a short scoping call.
Our title has already leaked. What should we do?
