Hydra Shield: take down first what pirates want most

Cut off one head of the hydra and two grow back: removing every pirate copy of a series is impossible, they are re-uploaded constantly. Hydra Shield therefore targets first the episodes and chapters that make readers switch to your legal offer the most.

Who is it for?

Independent manga, anime and webtoon publishers, and authors or creators who have no legal department to track the piracy of their works.

What we do

Targeted takedownsWe look for unauthorized copies of your works and send takedown requests in your name, starting with the most important ones.

Priority scoreWe rank your episodes or chapters by fan engagement (public discussions per episode), plus the first and the final episode.

New releases firstThe first days after a release are when piracy costs the most sales: we watch them first.

Clear reportsLinks found, notified and removed, platforms concerned and priority episodes covered.

Priority score example (illustration based on public data, unrelated to any client): on One Piece, the episode ranked #1 is 1071, the one fans discussed the most, ahead of the two latest episodes released. That is where a removed pirate copy matters most.

How it works

Written mandate: you authorize us to act for the chosen works and territory, with proof of your rights.
Manual verification: each piece of content is checked before any request (right work, unauthorized copy), with dated proof.
Notifications: takedown requests compliant with Article 16 of the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) and the French LCEN, each platform's own forms, and delisting requests to Google.
Report: you see what was found, requested and removed.
