    Most online content is being redistributed illegally. 80% of searches leading to those infringements come from Google.

    Major players of the music, movie and book publishing industries fight back by hiring expensive anti-piracy vendors or by building their own in-house automated anti-piracy solution.

    Individual creators (authors, bloggers, musicians, programmers, instructors, digital designers...) who sell their products online, are left with no effective tool. To spot infringements over their content, they try to use Google Alerts (uneffective for this purpose) or search Google manually (time-consuming). Then, they submit removal requests through Google’s standard process. A huge time-waster. Tedious forms, captchas, and removals take weeks.

    Those millions of individual creators are still waiting for an effective mainstream solution.

    Blasty brings it to them.
