This initiative addresses the growing problem of online piracy, highlighting how advertising revenue fuels copyright infringement. By operationalizing an anti-piracy framework, we aim to prevent ads from supporting rogue sites that harm client brands and content owners. Our strategy includes maintaining an updated list of infringement sites, establishing legal contracts with publishers, and implementing compliance audits. Since launching, we have withheld up to $12 million in ad revenue from infringing sites. Join us to reduce the impact of piracy on the industry.
