METHODOLOGY
Our Piracy Intelligence Methodology
Intelligence is built by collecting consistent data, looking for patterns and writing conclusions that someone can act on.
Collect
We gather the data produced by monitoring and enforcement, including sources, hosts, domains, platforms, timing and outcomes, and record it in one consistent structure so periods can be compared fairly.
Connect
Individual findings are linked into networks: sites that share infrastructure, accounts that repost the same material and operators who rebuild after takedowns. Seeing the network shows which interventions matter.
Interpret
Analysts assess what the patterns mean for your catalogue, territories and release plans, noting where the evidence is strong and where it is partial.
Recommend
Each report ends with proposed actions, such as shifting monitoring focus, targeting a particular host, adjusting protection technology or involving counsel on a persistent operator.
SERVICES
Our Piracy Intelligence and Reporting Services
Reporting can be a regular summary, a deeper study of a specific problem or evidence prepared for a wider audience. The three services below cover those needs.
DELIVERABLES
What Is Included in Piracy Intelligence and Reporting
These five deliverables give you both a regular view of progress and the depth needed for specific decisions.
WHY US
Why Choose Ayatii for Piracy Intelligence
Reports are only worth reading if they can be trusted and acted on. These points describe how we write them.
Analysis Rather Than Counts
A number of removed links says little on its own. We explain what changed, why it matters and what the data suggests you should do.
Built on Our Own Enforcement Data
Because the same team detects and removes infringement, the evidence behind each report is first-hand and traceable to individual cases.
Clear About Uncertainty
Piracy data is incomplete by nature. We mark what is measured, what is estimated and what is unknown, and avoid claims the evidence cannot carry.
Written for Several Readers
One engagement can produce an executive brief, a technical note and a legal file from the same underlying record, each pitched at its audience.
ABOUT PIRACY INTELLIGENCE
About Piracy Intelligence and Reporting
Piracy intelligence is the analysis of how unauthorised distribution of your content works: who runs it, where it is hosted, how audiences find it and how it reacts to enforcement. Reporting is the way those findings are communicated to the people who decide what to do.
Without analysis, anti-piracy work can become a cycle of removals with no sense of whether it is working. Pirate operators change domains, hosts and accounts regularly, so isolated removals can hide the fact that one operation keeps returning in a new form.
Good intelligence links individual findings into a picture, records the confidence behind each conclusion and recommends specific next steps. It also creates a record that supports conversations with partners, platforms and counsel.
What Intelligence Reports Can Show
- Source trends: which kinds of site, platform or marketplace carry the most infringement of your content over time.
- Repeat operators: sites and accounts that return after removal and the infrastructure they share.
- Timing patterns: how soon after release or broadcast copies appear and how long they stay available.
- Territory exposure: regions and languages where your content is most often found without permission.
- Enforcement outcomes: which routes of removal have worked, which have stalled and why.
The aim of reporting is a better decision next period, not a longer document.
WHO IT APPLIES TO
Who Needs Piracy Intelligence and Reporting
Teams that must justify an anti-piracy budget or direct an enforcement programme tend to benefit most. Three groups come to us for this.
RELATED SERVICES
Intelligence Works with Enforcement
Reports are strongest when they sit on top of live monitoring and removal work. Ayatii provides detection, notice-based takedowns and domain actions, so recommendations can be carried out by the same team.
Frequently asked questions
What does a piracy intelligence report contain?
Typically an executive summary, trend analysis by source and territory, a register of repeat sources and a set of recommendations. The format is agreed with you so it answers the questions your team asks.
Can you report on enforcement done by another provider?
Yes, if you can share their data in a usable form. We will tell you during scoping what we need and what limits the analysis, since we cannot vouch for data we did not collect.
How do you measure whether piracy is decreasing?
We compare consistent measures across periods, such as detected volume, time to removal and recurrence of repeat sources. We also explain what those measures cannot show, since piracy cannot be counted exactly.
Can reports be shared with our licensing partners?
Yes. We can prepare a version that shows activity and outcomes without internal strategy or commercially sensitive detail, and you decide who receives it.
Can your reports be used in legal proceedings?
Evidence packs are structured so your counsel can review them and decide how to use them. We do not give legal advice or predict outcomes, and any use in proceedings is for you and your lawyers.
