UK music promotions firm FATdrop has launched a new service called Anti-Piracy, which helps independent labels detect illegal sharing of their tracks online, and helps them request that they be removed. The new tool ties in with FATdrop’s existing watermarking technology for pre-release tracks, meaning labels can find out who originally shared the file. Then kill them. Well, slap their wrists and not send them any more promos, anyway.”Until there’s an industry wide answer to the problem of unwanted file-sharing, FATdrop Anti-Piracy is a quick and simple way to help reduce it,” says co-founder Chris Gorsuch. Other services like this exist, but most seem to be targeted at major labels and big-name artists. Clearly FATdrop believes there’s as much demand from smaller independent labels too.
