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.

Protecting your film: questions
What is Leak Alert?
Leak Alert watches one film for a pre-release leak: new scene releases within minutes, and torrent sites, release blogs, forums, cyberlockers and streaming sites round the clock. If a copy appears you get an alert with the proof, and you can move to Protect the same day.
How do you prevent movie piracy before release?
Watch for a leak at the screener and festival stage, then act the same day a copy appears. Leak Alert does the watching for $50 a month per film; if a copy appears you can move to MUSO Protect and takedowns start the same day.
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.
What's the difference between Automated and Premium?
Both include unlimited takedowns, Google de-listing and a live dashboard. Premium adds a dedicated analyst and customer success manager, expert checks on results the software can't confirm, and optional social media, UGC, search and ISP modules.
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.
How much does it cost?
Leak Alert is $50 a month per film. Protect Automated is $340 and Premium $800 a month per film. GBP and EUR prices are available at checkout, and taxes are extra where applicable.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Leak Alert can be cancelled anytime, and monitoring runs to the end of the month you've paid for. Protect is rolling monthly with 30 days' notice.
