Although much of Irdeto Intelligence's exact methodology is currently unknown, it can be ascertained from press releases and news sources that the company makes extensive use of automated webcrawler technology and databases of digital fingerprinting. Irdeto Intelligence's digital fingerprinting technology has been used in efforts to curb both Internet piracy and child pornography.
Irdeto Intelligence issues several million DMCA takedown notices per year to Internet users and providers suspected of hosting or distributing copyrighted material. Questions about the covert methods employed by Irdeto Intelligence in the identification of copyrighted works and DMCA takedown process have generated hostility toward the company from the Internet file sharing community.
A few examples of Irdeto Intelligence DMCA takedown notices to alleged copyright infringers can be found at Chilling Effects, the Stanford and Harvard Law project to document the DMCA's impact on the Internet.
