The Global Piracy Crisis

---

Piracy is a massive, growing issue within the entertainment industry, costing OTT platforms, production houses, and content distributors billions every year. In fact, digital piracy alone costs the global entertainment industry over $50 billion annually. The problem spans three major forms:

1. File Extraction from Streaming Platforms – Unauthorized downloading of movies and shows directly from streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime, leading to massive revenue losses.
    
2. Screen Recording on Various Devices – Piracy through screen recording software allows content to be captured on smartphones, laptops, and other devices, bypassing traditional content protection methods.
    
3. Physical Device Recording – Cameras (e.g., smartphones, DSLRs, GoPros) used in theaters and other public settings to illegally record content and distribute it online.
    

This ongoing crisis not only diminishes the revenue for content creators but also compromises the integrity of the entire digital distribution ecosystem. The piracy industry is a multi-billion-dollar problem that is growing each year, and it's waiting to be solved with innovative, AI-powered solutions.
