Who We Protect

Publishers & Media

Protect books, articles, research, photography, video, and subscriber content from unauthorized copying and redistribution.

Built for catalogue-scale content

Publishers and media businesses operate at a different scale from an individual creator: a catalogue of titles, issues, or assets rather than a single piece of content, and a piracy source is more likely to reappear across several of them. That scale is what separates a publisher case from a one-off creator case, and it changes how the work is organized.

When published material is copied or leaked

The situations that most often bring publishers, media businesses, and subscription publications to us — distinct from individual creator cases in scale and recurrence.

  • A book or publication is being distributed as an unauthorized PDF

    Full text circulating through file-sharing or download sites outside your distribution channels.

  • Articles are republished on other sites without permission

    Full or substantial excerpts copied to another publication, sometimes with authorship altered or removed.

  • Subscriber-only content is leaking outside your paywall

    Material intended for paying subscribers appearing on open sites or shared accounts.

  • The same piracy source resurfaces across your catalogue

    A known mirror or repost site continues redistributing new titles or issues after prior reports.

Where media and subscriber content travels

Publisher and media content tends to travel at catalogue scale, across a wider and more persistent set of channels than a single piece of content.

  • Independent websites and mirror sites hosting copied material
  • File-sharing and download platforms
  • Search results linking to unauthorized copies
  • Social and content-sharing platforms redistributing excerpts or media

Relevant protection for publishers

The specific capabilities most relevant to this audience, and why.

  • Copyright Protection

    The primary service for book, article, and media piracy, and for addressing subscriber-content leaks at the source.

  • Monitoring & Intelligence

    Particularly relevant at catalogue scale, where a single mirror or repost source may resurface repeatedly across multiple titles.

  • Brand Protection

    Relevant where a publication's identity or masthead is being impersonated alongside the copied content.

How publisher cases are organized

Publisher cases are organized around the source publication and the pattern of redistribution, since a single case is often one of several from the same source.

  1. Source publication
    Confirm the original book, article, or media asset and your rights to it.
  2. Redistribution mapping
    Identify every location the material has been copied, mirrored, or leaked to.
  3. Evidence
    Record the copies with the context needed to support a report.
  4. Reporting route
    Submit through the appropriate DMCA or platform-specific process.
  5. Catalogue monitoring
    Where scoped, track known sources for further titles or repeat activity.

What helps us assess a publisher case

This helps us organize a publisher case, especially where multiple titles are involved.

  • The original publication or source
  • The copied or leaked URL(s)
  • The type of content and scope (single title vs. catalogue)
  • Whether the source has redistributed other titles before
