The internet has changed the way we create, share, and consume video. But with that freedom comes a hidden problem many creators and studios don’t see until it’s too late: their content is being stolen.
On YouTube, where millions of videos are uploaded and watched every day, piracy and misuse are constant threats. Protecting what’s yours is essential to survival.
The solution is provided by Adam Rumanek, a veteran entrepreneur, programmer, and author who has spent years in the digital media industry. Adam sold his first internet company in 2000 and has since worked with corporations, governments, and NGOs worldwide. In 2012, he spotted a new problem emerging from YouTube’s explosive growth: creators and studios had no reliable way to protect their intellectual property or turn their video libraries into revenue streams.
His solution became Aux Mode, a company built to secure and monetize online video content. Today, Aux Mode is a trusted YouTube Certified partner that helps content owners take control of their digital assets, stop theft, and grow income from streaming platforms.
The Real Cost of Stolen Content
It’s easy to assume your videos are safe once they’re uploaded, but the reality is far more complicated. Millions of channels use copyrighted content without permission. For creators, studios, and brands, that means lost revenue, legal headaches, and diminished control over their work.
Adam explains the problem plainly: “Every video and audio track has a digital fingerprint. Videos uploaded to YouTube are compared against existing audio and video files, and when a match is found, we can remove that content.
Or, if you owned the ‘Happy Birthday’ song, we could monetize all the third-party misuse. Wouldn’t that be great?! You could retire today.”
Here’s what happens when you don’t manage your content rights properly:
- Revenue leaks: Pirated versions of your videos generate ad money for someone else.
- Brand confusion: Unauthorized uploads confuse audiences and dilute your brand’s value.
- Legal exposure: Failing to enforce your rights can weaken future claims.
- Lost insights: You miss out on analytics that could guide your content strategy.
Aux Mode addresses these issues with digital rights management, automated tracking, and expert intervention, transforming piracy from a problem into an opportunity.
