BeIN Media Group has linked up with TMG, a provider of compliance and anti-piracy services, to combat online piracy of its content.
The global partnership will comprise content detection, monitoring, source identification, intelligence-gathering, investigations and enforcement.
The partnership will result in the removal of live content, the taking down of pirated links and, ultimately, legal action to permanently close non-compliant websites.
As part of the agreement, TMG will provide beIN with a complete view of online content usage, which will serve as a basis for analysis.
Bastien Casalta, chief technology officer at TMG, said: “Focusing your efforts on the right targets, as well as choosing the right course of action, are key success factors in an effective anti-piracy strategy. Our job is to provide beIN with a comprehensive toolbox, and the means to use it.”
Casalta added: “It will become much more difficult – and risky – for one to indulge in pirating beIN Sports’ premium content over the coming years.”
