    Who It's For

    Media companies, studios, and content distributors who need to track content usage, detect infringement, and manage licensing at scale

    Content appears across thousands of platforms without authorization. Manual monitoring cannot track all usage, and licensing negotiations lack usage data

    Why Mixpeek

    99% infringement detection accuracy, 70% faster licensing negotiations with usage data, and automated royalty reporting

    Overview

    Content rights management is critical for media economics. This use case shows how Mixpeek automates infringement detection and licensing management.

    Challenges This Solves

    Infringement Scale

    Content pirated across thousands of sites

    Impact: Billions in lost licensing revenue annually

    Usage Tracking

    Cannot track where licensed content appears

    Impact: Inaccurate royalty calculations, disputes

    Detection Speed

    Pirated content spreads quickly

    Impact: Delayed takedowns maximize infringement damage

    Derivative Works

    Content modified to avoid detection

    Impact: Clips, edits, and remixes evade simple matching

    Implementation Steps

    Mixpeek fingerprints content and continuously monitors for unauthorized use, while tracking licensed usage for accurate royalty calculations

    1

    Fingerprint Content Library

    Create unique fingerprints for all owned content

    await client.rights.fingerprintLibrary({
    collection_id: 'content-library',
    bucket_uri: 's3://media/masters/',
    fingerprint_types: ['audio', 'video', 'visual'],
    robustness: 'high' // Survives compression, editing
    });
    2

    Monitor for Infringement

    Scan platforms for unauthorized usage

    const monitoring = await client.rights.monitorUsage({
    content_id: contentId,
    platforms: ['youtube', 'tiktok', 'facebook', 'web'],
    alert_on: ['unlicensed_use', 'derivative_work', 'clip_usage']
    });
