Battling the Digital Black Market: The war against content piracy in 2025
In 2025, content piracy remains a significant challenge for content owners and video service providers. Chris White, Chief Architect at Friend MTS, emphasizes the need for a unified organizational approach to combat piracy effectively. He suggests that companies should invest in security audits and content monitoring to understand the piracy landscape and develop strategies that protect and generate revenue. White also notes that while platforms like YouTube have made strides in addressing piracy, others like X and Telegram lag behind. He advocates for a shift in mindset, viewing anti-piracy efforts not as a cost center but as essential for revenue protection and generation.
