Friend MTS to help United Media protect against pay-TV piracy

Content and revenue protection specialist Friend MTS announced it has been chosen by United Media to provide advanced anti-piracy solutions. United Media is part of United Group, a telecom and media platform in Southeast Europe operating in all six countries of the former Yugoslavia. The Friend MTS security services will be used across United Media's flagship channels, including Sport Klub 1, Sport Klub 2, Sport Klub 3, TOP, Grand, N1, and Cinemania. The channels are protected by Friend MTS' global channel monitoring, using fingerprint-based automatic content recognition, as well as subscriber-level identification, which pinpoints the source of the streaming piracy.
