Blocking. It Works.

Stop piracy in its tracks with blocking from FMTS

The threat of piracy continues to increase, costing you revenue and potential customers as content is stolen from legitimate sources and shared illegally online.

If your content is at risk, blocking is the answer. Stopping piracy in its tracks, blocking will make a rapid impact on your piracy landscape and secure your revenue and content.

Advanced solutions to protect revenue

Blocking access to pirate sites and streams is one of the most effective means of depriving illegal services of an audience. And when audiences can’t access pirated streams, they can return back to legitimate offerings, bringing income back to broadcasters, rights holders and content owners.

This means that blocking effectively secures media and protects revenue at an unmatched scale and efficiency. In fact, it can stop tens of thousands of infringing servers per live event.

Blocking tailored to your needs

Content owners and rights holders have a number of blocking options available, and Friend MTS can guide you to the most suitable and appropriate solution for your content and geography.

Although there are multiple deployment methods, there are actually two main types of blocking available. Domain Blocking works to stop access to pirated content at a domain resolution level. Dynamic Delivery Server Blocking restricts access to pirated content at a residential internet service provider (ISP) level in real time.

Depending on your needs, location and content type, you might need one form of blocking over another, or benefit from combining both types for stronger content control. Whichever you decide, our team can tailor a solution to keep your content safe and help secure your revenue.
