How do takedowns work?
From the portal. Each target is ranked by who can act, with the right contact and a notice written with its evidence. Your team reviews it and sends it under your name, so every notice follows your policy. Every server named in it is then checked each hour: removed, how long it took, and whether it came back.
How do you avoid flagging our own or licensed distribution?
Free-TV platforms and licensed distributors are recognised, and you declare your own hosts once. Streams from them are never counted as findings.
How is evidence kept?
Every capture keeps its pictures, what was on screen, a time stamp, tamper-evident integrity and the network that carried it. Reports bring them together as case files with an evidence register.
Can our AI assistant use it?
Yes. Connect Carriagegraph to Claude or another assistant that supports MCP, and ask about your findings in plain language, or have it build a dashboard on your live figures. It sees what your role allows, nothing more.
What would it take to build this in-house?
Time, and it cannot be bought back. Every observation we hold is dated, and history cannot be collected after the fact. Beyond that: finding sources continuously across pirate websites, social platforms, illicit IPTV and apps, in every language; confirming each one by what is actually on screen, at scale; resolving thousands of addresses into the operations, hosts and money behind them; keeping evidence that holds in front of a host or a court; and running all of it around the clock, match after match. Most teams that try end up with a list of links. We hand you the operations behind them.
How is this different from my content protection vendor?
A vendor's detection is keyed to the content you enrolled and the places it is pointed at. Carriagegraph watches the whole open ecosystem, including services and channels nobody pointed it at, follows each one to the operation, sponsors and hosts behind it, and keeps the evidence. It can work alongside your vendor or directly with your team.
Can it replace our current vendor?
It can take over the monitoring and takedown work. A pilot runs alongside your current supplier and your own scorecard shows what each found, so the decision rests on your figures. Stream protection, such as watermarking and DRM, is a different job and stays where it is.
How accurate is it?
We answer that with traceability rather than a percentage. Every finding traces back to its frames, their hashes, the time of capture and the look that produced it; every attribution carries a confidence level; and when evidence changes, the record is corrected and the correction logged. In a pilot, your team measures the four numbers that matter on your own matches: services found, operations named, time to first capture, and the share your current reports missed.
How do you handle our data?
Your findings, captures, actions and reports are seen only by the members you name, by role. What we observe on the open internet serves every customer; nothing of yours is shared with another customer, nothing is trained on your data without your consent, and the full security and data statement is available on request.
How do you know a stream really shows the programme?
Because we look. Every finding rests on a stream that was played and its picture judged, reading any text on screen in any language. On 1 October 2026, 14% of the channels whose streams played showed no programme at all: a notice, a test card or a blank screen.
How do you work within the law?
Carriagegraph observes what is publicly reachable and records what it sees, as evidence for the rights holder. It does not host, redistribute or provide access to any stream, and it never publishes a pirate address. Complaints go out only when the rights holder sends them. How this applies in your jurisdiction is a question for your counsel, and we are glad to brief them.
How fresh is the data?
Continuously. Live sources are checked again within hours, and every observation carries its own timestamp, so you always know the age of what you are reading.
Can I get history for a channel we never monitored?
Usually yes. The index is not customer-scoped, so coverage of a channel begins when we first observed it, not when you became a customer.
Can anyone verify your evidence?
Yes. Every frame we deliver carries a small seal with a code. Anyone holding the frame, your counsel, a host or a court, can scan it with a phone and see that it is a genuine capture, when it was taken, what was on screen and the fingerprint of the original, computed at that moment. A copy that was altered does not match.
Do you cover pirate apps and IPTV subscriptions?
Yes. Illicit IPTV services are found where they advertise and confirmed, and the machines behind their many names are grouped, so one target stands behind every name sold on it. Pirate apps are read as files, never installed, and followed from one version to the next, with every server they name.
Can you tell us how many people watch a pirate stream?
Where the platform reports it, yes: YouTube, Twitch and Kick publish how many watch a live stream, and the Control Tower shows it for your match, stream by stream. Elsewhere we report reach we can stand behind, never an estimate dressed as a count.
Do you show who funds them?
Yes. The betting and gaming brands advertised on each service are read from the screen and linked to the services that show them, and the payment providers the apps take money through are identified, each with a merchant-account report ready to send.
What does it cost?
Every engagement is quoted, after the first report, because the right scope only becomes clear once you have seen where your channels actually appear. The first report is free. A pilot has a fixed fee, agreed with you and credited against your first year.
Can we sign up online?
No. Every customer starts with a conversation and a carriage report. Once the scope and the quote are agreed, we open accounts for the people you name, with the roles you choose.
