UK firm Trackitdown has launched a new B2B service called Tid:Protect, aimed at labels looking to crack down on piracy of their albums and/or tracks. “By removing the source host of your content we can significantly reduce the availability of free links to download your valuable music and as such drive fans to legal paid-for alternatives,” explains the company, saying that pricing starts at £50. We wondered how this works, so followed up: apparently, the company traces links to infringing content, and then files takedown notices on behalf of its label customers, while providing full reports on which links have been taken down.
