WorldSBK extends partnership with Sportian, Globant’s Sports Division ?? Long-standing partnership enabled by LALIGA, co-founder of Sportian, aims to remove up to 99% piracy across digital platforms and will investigate the incorporation of AI-powered technologies to maintain these standards. WorldSBK has extended its long-term partnership with Sportian, the sports division of Globant. As the collective fightback against sports piracy continues, the partnership has achieved breakthrough results in removing illegal content. Since beginning their anti-piracy partnership with LALIGA, co-founder of Sportian, over five years ago, WorldSBK and MotoGP have been successful in tracking and removing illegal broadcasts across social media, apps, video-on-demand (VOD) services, search engines, and illegal streaming sites. The technology services, now operated by Sportian’s Piracy Guard, have set a new benchmark for sports anti-piracy. Going forward, the partnership intends to explore the integration of AI and machine learning technologies to support the detection and categorization of pirated content, to aid the continual fight against audiovisual theft. Piracy Guard provides WorldSBK with reactive removal of illegal content and proactive monitoring for emerging threats. Over the next year, Sportian will continue to fine-tune these services to adapt to emerging threats, providing proactive security assessments to detect and shut down new vulnerabilities that may emerge across the broadcast landscape, and leveraging automation and predictive analytics to adapt to evolving piracy tactics. WorldSBK organiser and rights holder Dorna excels not only in the organisation the and promotion of motorcycle racing but also in its commitment in the fight against piracy. This long-term partnership between Dorna, rights holder of MotoGP and WorldSBK, and Globant Sportian is a reference in the market, driving investment in innovations to fight the piracy of live sporting events such as Sportian’s Piracy Guard. Piracy Guard, a combination of powerful detection tools and expert analyst oversight, ensures that unauthorized streams are identified in real time and swiftly removed. Created from the in-house piracy team of LALIGA, Piracy Guard holds working partnerships with more than 70 of the world’s largest online platforms and Google TCRP certification, the solution routinely achieves a removal rate of over 90%, while gathering insights and intelligence to support subsequent legal actions and dynamic blocking orders.
