anti-piracy measures

Digital theft prevention

Anti-piracy measures are technologies or legal strategies designed to prevent unauthorized copying or distribution of copyrighted material.

These include digital rights management (DRM), copy protection, watermarking, and takedown notices.

The term also applies to naval operations against maritime piracy: International anti-piracy measures in the Gulf of Aden have reduced hijackings.
