Muserk is excited to announce that we are partnering with the Japanese marketing research company Video Research Ltd. to form Muserk VID. The “VID” standing for Video ID, we will service, manage and protect the online rights of the major broadcasters, networks, and production companies of Japan, around the world. Specifically, Muserk VID will provide services for reporting the playback status of content (including illegal videos) on various DSPs as well as provide a management platform for content rights holders in Japan.

With this joint venture and the creation of Muserk V.I.D., we expect to see less piracy of Japanese content on all platforms and an opportunity for our customers to monetize their content online through royalty collection,” said Video Research president Wataru Mochizuki in a statement. “We knew we needed a company that offered something unique to match the power of our scale for this joint venture. The passionate team at Muserk and their propriety technology M-PACTM and M-Match® make this a perfect match.
