Full issues reposted to Telegram and Discord
Usually a channel that aggregates several publications, sometimes charging its own subscription for your work. The most direct revenue loss and the easiest to prove.
For paid research and newsletters
Your best issue is already in a Telegram channel.
Paid research leaks within hours of sending. The subscriber who forwarded it is not the problem — the channel republishing every issue to four thousand people who would otherwise have paid you is.
Fit
Who this is for
Finance, markets, and investing newsletters with a paid tier, independent research shops, and paid communities. Works the same for courses and paid reports.
Threats
What gets copied
PDF and archive mirrors
Your back catalogue on a file host, indexed and ranking for your own issue titles.
Clone sites running your archive
A lookalike domain reproducing your posts wholesale, monetised with ads or collecting sign-ups that you never see.
Fake subscription pages
A copy of your checkout taking real money from readers who think they are subscribing to you. You get the support email and the chargeback.
Stakes
The numbers that matter
Passage-level
How matches are proven
We match the actual text of your issues, so a takedown notice cites the reproduced passage rather than asserting a resemblance.
Every channel
Where we look
Telegram, Discord, file hosts, document hosts, marketplaces, code registries, and search — not just the web.

Questions
The ones people actually ask
- Is chasing leaks worth it, or does it just annoy readers?
- We do not target your readers. The notices go to the platform hosting the republication, which is both more effective and the only version that does not cost you goodwill.
- Will you find a leak in a private channel?
- Only where the content is publicly reachable. We do not infiltrate private groups, and any vendor claiming otherwise is describing something you should not want your name attached to.
- My archive is public. Does this still apply?
- Yes, but the case changes: the value is in the paid tier and the clone sites monetising your archive, not in the free posts. Tell us which is which and we will scope it honestly.
