Representing the world's largest and industry-leading film studios in a landmark case, DERIS successfully conducted a thorough investigation and legal action process in just three months, leading to the take of Turkey's second most popular illegal streaming websites, which were also among the country's most visited illegal anime platforms. 

Key Details of the Case and Its Impact

• Extensive Movie and TV Series Catalog

The platform that was taken down offered a vast catalog of over 3,111 movies and 1,205 TV series titles, all available for free in Turkish. This extensive collection attracted millions of viewers, making the site one of the most visited illegal streaming platforms in Turkey. The broad selection of content spanned various genres, including popular TV series and films, and was a major draw for users seeking unauthorized access to entertainment.

• High Traffic and Unfairly High Revenue

The platform received over 28 million visits every month from users worldwide, making it one of the most visited illegal streaming sites in Turkey. With such high traffic, the site earned more than $40,000 a year from illegal streaming, showing the unfairly high financial impact of online piracy.

• Uncovering the Source of Piracy: DERIS Gains Key Insights from Illegal Site Owners

As part of its successful settlement negotiations, DERIS obtained crucial information from the owner of the shut-down illegal streaming sites regarding the tools and methods that enabled and facilitated piracy in TV shows and films. This valuable insight helps in addressing the source causes of the issue and strengthening efforts to combat online piracy in the future.

• A Strong Combination of Investigation and Effective Use of Legal Tools

Detecting online pirates can be challenging due to the internet's anonymity and complexity. However, DERIS has demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in identifying illegal streaming activities by working closely with clients throughout the process. Through comprehensive investigations and the strategic use of legal tools at the right moments, DERIS has successfully tracked down and acted against online pirates, thereby maximizing the effectiveness of legal measures in combating digital piracy.
