The piracy challenge facing publishing & media companies
1:1 copying poses a grave risk to publishers more than other industries because it directly takes consumers away from purchasing and towards cheaper or free alternatives. This is unlike many other black market economies because the consumers of illegal products are generally not the same people who buy authentic goods. This means that for publishers, self-publishers, authors, and media companies, book piracy is a significant commercial rival, in addition to being a threat to brand reputation.

How does Corsearch stop book piracy: an industry case study
We supported a USA Today best-selling author of romance novels, who decided to protect her rights after discovering online piracy had reduced her sales by 50%.
The author found enforcing manually time-consuming, and it didn’t prevent re-uploads. By using our Content Protection Solution, however, she was able to reduce the visibility of pirate book sites and maximize search traffic to authorized platforms, and minimize the time spent enforcing.
The customer saw both an improvement in search rank and traffic, but also pirates being denied search visibility. In one week, the customer saw a 10-15% increase in official sales and, over time, piracy was reduced to 0% of search visibility.
As an added benefit, our keywords dashboard gave the customer insight into which terms were used by fans looking for her work. This allowed her to focus on those terms in her own digital marketing and to buy ad space which further displaced infringing searches.
