Friend MTS

Friend MTS operates a hybrid software-and-services model. It develops proprietary content protection and anti-piracy technologies that are sold to enterprise media customers as recurring licensed platforms, then extends that software with managed enforcement services that help customers investigate leaks, issue takedowns, disrupt pirate operations and close security gaps. Value is created by reducing revenue leakage, protecting media rights and shortening the time between piracy detection and remedial action.

Friend MTS is a UK-based B2B content security company that provides software and managed services to detect, attribute and disrupt video piracy. Its product set spans automated monitoring of infringing streams, forensic source identification, watermarking and operational takedown services. The company primarily serves broadcasters, OTT platforms, pay TV operators, studios, sports rights holders and other content owners seeking to protect subscription, advertising and distribution revenues.

The business makes money through enterprise licensing for its SaaS-style monitoring, attribution and watermarking products, alongside managed service fees for enforcement and disruption work. Its value proposition is rooted in combining detection, technical investigation and operational response into a single anti-piracy workflow, particularly for live and premium video content.
