In 2024, the anti-piracy activity in Russian media holdings increased significantly comparing to previous years. The number of links that were requested to be blocked in search engines doubled, reaching 180M.
In particular, last year, the Gazprom-Media holding initiated 904 lawsuits to protect IP rights, 775 of which were ruled in favor of the holding companies. Over the year, about 17.4K sites were blocked with violations of the intellectual rights of the holding companies, 6.2M links were removed from Yandex search results, and about 5.7K blocks of Telegram channels and bots were initiated.
Along with violations of intellectual property rights to media content, 43 cases related to the sale of counterfeit goods that violated the rights to trademarks of the holding companies were resolved.
TKM International Consulting experts emphasize that in an era of high demand for viewing and downloading content, it is necessary to strengthen and improve monitoring systems to combat piracy. One of the ways to solve this problem for us is the use of AI technologies to monitor social media, forums, torrent trackers and other resources, which allows us to block pirated links.
As reported in the previous article, piracy problems are acute not only for Russian copyright holders, but also for Western ones. To effectively protect rights to media and TV content, TKM International Consulting constantly updates and accumulates data in cooperation with copyright holders to improve monitoring and blocking systems.
