Case Study: RosettaBooks increases e-book sales and reduces piracy with Digimarc Guardian

RosettaBooks Grows Revenue and Adds Titles by Cracking Down on Online Piracy

RosettaBooks, a leading e-book publisher with a large catalog of classic bestsellers, was facing growing online piracy that threatened sales and strained its small staff and limited legal resources. To better protect its backlist titles and reassure authors and rights holders, RosettaBooks turned to Digimarc and its Digimarc Guardian service.

Digimarc implemented continuous anti-piracy protection across RosettaBooks’s catalog, including search-engine de-listing and automated DMCA takedown notices for infringing copies. The results were strong: an independent study found e-book sales rose by over 11% overall, and by up to 47% for some titles, while RosettaBooks reported no false positives and faster-growing revenues in its most pirated titles.
