Doverunner Launches Features To Combat Piracy Across Live & Short-Form Streaming Content

With streaming piracy on the rise and short-form video exploding across platforms, Doverunner has introduced two innovations to help platforms protect their content and revenues: a real-time piracy detection system for live streams, and TNP, a cloud-based DRM and transcoding service built for short-form video apps.

Piracy is no longer a slow-moving threat — it’s instantaneous, especially when it comes to live sports. Doverunner says its real-time detection tool allows broadcasters to “identify and shut down illegal streams in minutes, simply by scanning the stream URL. The technology extracts embedded watermarks and pinpoints the origin, even if the content has been re-encoded or degraded, allowing platforms to act immediately via CDN-level takedown.”

“Pirates don’t wait. And with this technology, neither do we,” said James Ahn, Doverunner founder-CEO. “Our goal is to shift anti-piracy from reactive to real-time — so rightsholders can protect every second of their live content.”

Simultaneously, Doverunner has also enhanced its flagship TNP (Transcoding & Packaging) solution — an SaaS-based multi-DRM and video processing platform purpose-built for short-form videos on platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. “TNP enables creators and platforms to secure their video content without writing a single line of code.” The service supports all major DRM standards and automatically transcodes videos for smooth, protected playback across all devices and aspect ratios.

“With content security built directly into the upload workflow, TNP gives platforms the tools to reduce unauthorized sharing, preserve monetization models and improve user trust,” the company says.
