    P2P Monitoring

    Advanced P2P
    Copyright Protection

    Track copyright infringement across the BitTorrent network using precision content matching and automated reporting to rights holders.

    Key Capabilities

    Advanced Content Matching

    Our proprietary matching technology identifies copyrighted content with high accuracy, even when compressed, re-encoded, or modified. Covers audio, video, software, documents, and other file types. Matches against your registered catalogue to verify infringement with forensic precision.

    P2P Network Monitoring

    Continuously monitors the BitTorrent network across public trackers, torrent site indexes, and DHT swarms. Tracks file-sharing activity, identifies repeat infringers, and maps distribution patterns to understand infringement scale and trends.

    Infringement Reporting

    Generate and deliver evidence-based reports containing IP addresses, timestamps, and content identification. Monitoring is configured for specific networks (by ASN, CIDR, or netname), and reports are delivered in ACNS and XARF formats on your schedule and to your destination.

    Rights Holder Intelligence

    Provide rights holders with actionable intelligence on infringement patterns, hotspots, and repeat offenders. Dashboard analytics enable data-driven enforcement strategies and measure the effectiveness of anti-piracy campaigns over time.

    How It Works

    1

    Discover & Verify

    TorrentWatch searches torrent site indexes and feeds for your catalogue keywords. When a potential match is found, we download a sample, match it, and confirm it genuinely contains your protected content before any further action is taken.

    2

    Identify Active Infringers

    Verified torrents are scanned for active peers. Where a peer is on a network you are monitoring, TorrentWatch connects to confirm the content is being actively distributed from that IP address, providing reliable peer-level evidence.

    3

    Deliver Structured Reports

    Confirmed infringements are compiled into structured reports. You control the delivery frequency, format (ACNS, XARF, or our own enriched format), transport method (S3, FTP, SFTP, or email), and destination.

    Who Uses TorrentWatch

    Music Rights Holders

    Record labels, music publishers, and collective management organisations use TorrentWatch to protect catalogues, enforce rights, and reduce revenue loss from BitTorrent piracy.

    • Monitor new release leaks and pre-release infringement
    • Track infringement across territories and enforcement jurisdictions
    • Support notice-and-takedown and peer enforcement programmes

    Content Rights Associations

    National and regional recording industry associations use TorrentWatch to run enforcement programmes on behalf of their members, aggregate infringement intelligence across territories, and coordinate with enforcement partners.

    • Manage enforcement for member labels and publishers
    • Aggregate infringement data across monitored territories
    • Deliver structured reports in ACNS, XARF, and custom formats
    Near Real-Time Detection

    Rapid Infringement Detection Engine

    A system capable of near real-time scanning and flagging of leaked content.

    BitTorrent Ecosystem

    Comprehensive BitTorrent Ecosystem Indexing

    TorrentWatch indexes hundreds of torrent sites and their mirrors, and also monitors the DHT (Distributed Hash Table), the decentralised index that underlies the BitTorrent network itself. This gives broad coverage of publicly available torrent listings without relying on any single source.

    Rights Holder Alerts

    Rights Holder Alerting System

    An automated system that notifies rights holders the moment a leak is detected.

    FAQ

    Questions, Answered.

    01What is TorrentWatch?
    TorrentWatch is a BitTorrent copyright protection and monitoring platform built for rights holders, recording industry associations, anti-piracy teams, CERTs, and ISPs. It continuously monitors the BitTorrent network for infringing content, verifies matches using advanced content matching, and generates evidence-based reports for enforcement action.
    02Which P2P networks does TorrentWatch monitor?
    TorrentWatch monitors the BitTorrent network, including public trackers, torrent site indexes, and DHT swarms. Monitoring is configured around your catalogue keywords so you receive relevant infringement data rather than general network traffic.
    03How does content matching work?
    TorrentWatch generates a match signature from each reference file in your catalogue. When a file is detected on the BitTorrent network, a sample is downloaded and matched. The system matches it against your registered catalogue with high accuracy, even when files have been re-encoded, compressed, or otherwise modified. This works across audio, video, software, documents, and other file types. Identification does not rely on filenames or metadata alone.
    04How does TorrentWatch differ from traditional fingerprinting?
    Many solutions rely on traditional fingerprinting technologies, which break when content is heavily altered. TorrentWatch is different: it enables matching of AI-altered music, whereas traditional fingerprinting will not match in those cases. You can still identify and enforce against infringing copies even when they have been modified by AI or other means.
    05How does infringement reporting work?
    When infringement is confirmed, TorrentWatch automatically compiles evidence-based reports containing IP addresses, timestamps, and content identification details. Monitoring is scoped to networks you specify (by ASN, CIDR range, or netname) so reports target relevant peers. Reports are delivered in your chosen format (ACNS, XARF, or our enriched format), via your chosen transport (S3, FTP, SFTP, or email), on the schedule you configure.
    06What kind of evidence and intelligence does TorrentWatch provide?
    Beyond individual infringement reports, TorrentWatch delivers actionable intelligence on infringement patterns, geographic hotspots, and repeat offenders. Dashboard analytics help you measure the effectiveness of enforcement campaigns over time and make data-driven decisions about where to focus anti-piracy resources.
    07How do I get started with TorrentWatch?
    Getting started is straightforward. Request a demo and our team will evaluate your catalogue and enforcement needs. We configure your monitoring profile, ingest your reference files, and activate continuous P2P surveillance so you can begin receiving reports and intelligence right away.
