About Us

The Digital Copyright Consultancy was set up by James Brandes in 2010 in order to combat digital piracy in the creative industries. James has an extensive Legal education with an LL.B (Hons) in Law, a Post Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice and an LL.M in International Business Law. His knowledge of Intellectual Property Law has proved invaluable in removing over 20 million infringing URLs for clients within the music and entertainment industries.

Since inception, the Digital Copyright Consultancy has provided internet anti-piracy services for over a dozen worldwide Number 1 chart topping albums and over 30 Top 40 chart albums. We have protected albums and singles for Kylie Minogue, Blink 182, Avril Lavigne, Dido, The Prodigy, Janet Jackson, Lil Dicky, Chris Brown, Alt-J, Rick Astley, Nickelback, The Temper Trap, Pharrell Williams, Fergie, Gary Numan, Editors, James, Nas, Run the Jewels, You Me At Six, Texas, Blondie, Gabrielle, Morrissey, The Pixies, Newton Faulkner, Jack Savoretti, Shed Seven, The Charlatans, DJ Shadow, Bloc Party, Enter Shikari, Leftfield, John Digweed, DJ Koze, Booka Shade, & Trentemøller.

But how do we do this? The Digital Copyright Consultancy provides a bespoke alternative to other anti-piracy services available which often rely on ineffective automated crawlers which are slow to react to pirated leaks.

As a result of melding manual and automated methodologies, the Digital Copyright Consultancy has built a fast, comprehensive and extremely thorough anti-piracy service for the music business.

Our service speaks for itself.
