The piracy challenge facing musicians and record labels
While the emergence of authorized streaming services and digital download stores may have moved music piracy away from torrents and downloads, it has still not stopped the problem. Stream ripping and illegally streamed music now represent a greater risk than before, but torrents and P2P sharing also still cause significant issues for rights owners.

How does Corsearch stop music piracy: an industry case study

We do this for clients in a wide range of sectors and our methods can be adapted to fit all industries.
We helped one music industry customer to grow by outperforming the popular pirate sites competing for audience share in its domestic market. Many of these sites outranked their legitimate counterparts and had even achieved the appeal of mainstream services.
As one of the top music streaming apps in the country, the customer used both subscription and ad-supported revenue models, but it required search traffic to grow its market share. By raising its profile, it could then create new users for both models and generate revenue from either fees or adverts.
Before the campaign, one out of every two searches within the project parameters returned infringing content on the first two pages of Google. By the end of the year, 70% of these searches returned no infringing content. Diverting this traffic in favor of its own brand allowed the customer to gain traction in the market.
During the same period, the top ten pirate music sites lost 50% of their traffic.
