Documents Leaked Online? Copyright May Be the Fastest Fix

Online piracy is usually associated with films, music, or software, but businesses are increasingly facing a different problem: confidential documents turning up on public sharing platforms. Sites like Scribd, CourseHero, and, Docin host millions of uploads. The vast majority are legitimate, but internal reports, technical specifications, and other business-sensitive files occasionally appear. These exposures can damage competitive advantage, aid counterfeiters, and undermine trust with customers and partners.
