Sygnal carries out large-scale educational and information activities. It organises courses, workshops and conferences, prepares studies and reports on IP protection and provides its members with an opportunity to co-operate and share experiences; thereby enhancing the effectiveness of activities related to the prevention of theft of audio and video content.

White Bullet’s platform looks for IP-infringing content, examines each infringement’s context, and determines structural violation on a commercial scale – providing accurate piracy risk scores based on this analysis. It detects piracy across multiple digital ecosystems, remaining up-to-date in real-time, and tracking that all-important advertising and financial impact, with AI and machine learning taking the strain.

“We are delighted to support Sygnal as it helps to defund online piracy,” says Peter Szyszko, Founder and CEO, White Bullet. “The Sygnal Association plays an extremely important role in Poland by providing a policy forum to help shape international IP rules for a changing world, thereby helping legitimate players to use and protect their IP for economic, social and cultural development.”
