piracy prevention
Stopping illegal copying
Piracy prevention encompasses measures to stop unauthorized copying or distribution of copyrighted material—software, music, films, books.
These range from digital rights management (DRM) and encryption to legal enforcement and takedown notices.
The streaming service invested heavily in piracy prevention.
The term also applies to maritime security against sea pirates, though this sense is less common.
