MPA Warns of 'Piracy as a Service' Threatening Content
Imagine people making websites that let you watch movies and shows without paying.
Some companies are helping these people by selling them everything they need – the website design, the movies, and even ways to make money from it.
This is called 'Piracy as a Service'.
It's like buying a kit to start your own illegal movie-watching business.
Now, the people who own the movies and shows have a tougher job because they have to find and stop these companies helping the pirates, not just the websites themselves.
This makes it much harder to protect movies and shows from being stolen.
Emilie Anthonis, MPA's EMEA boss, warns of 'Piracy as a Service'.
Piracy as a Service enables individuals to easily set up piracy websites.
The B2B model provides tech, know-how, and assets to aspiring pirates.
Turnkey packages include white-labeled streaming platforms and content access.
The challenge is dealing with the issue at its source to combat piracy.
