New addition to TCAT anti-piracy software platform to tackle AI music
infringement

 

Software platform TCAT Ltd ("TCAT"), the subsidiary of One Media (AIM: OMIP),
the digital media content provider that specialises in the active monetisation
of music and video intellectual property rights together with copyright
protection technology, has launched a new product to its SaaS portfolio, 'TCAT
Insight'.

 

TCAT Insight is the latest addition to the proprietary suite of TCAT software
products that has been designed by its in-house team of technology experts to
provide solutions to music rights holders (including One Media) and the
creative community arising from music copyright infringement and loss of due
income through the illegal activities of others.

 

The new software's scanning ability can help music copyright owners to detect
copyright infringing tracks, including AI generated music, by identifying
potentially pirated tracks using metadata that are matched using an artist
name and track title together with various additional keywords. It can also
identify possible covers using a confidence analysis process that incorporates
metadata matching and artificial intelligence to analyse lyrics.

 

Gareth Waller, CTO at TCAT said: "TCAT Insight can be used as a standalone
product or alongside our content protection product, 'TCAT Protect', to
further triage possible infringements found via metadata scans. Driven by
machine learning, it enables clients to review the potential infringement and
respond accordingly. We have had strong interest in the new software
capability from both new and existing clients, including small to medium sized
record labels who are having to work harder than ever to protect their
copyrights from piracy. This is very much an example of AI working for the
benefit of the music industry."

 

Michael Infante, CEO of One Media commented: "This new software product is the
result of One Media's multimillion pound investment into TCAT, where the
opportunities are growing in this fast-moving music technology environment.
Our impressive team, under the guidance of Gareth Waller, is working hard to
anticipate and respond to customer demand and there is a strong pipeline of
new additions to the platform that we look forward to announcing over the
coming months."

 

The person who arranged the release of this information is Michael Infante,
Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
