Anti-piracy and video cybersecurity specialist Friend MTS has announced a partnership with Jasmine International (JAS TV) to safeguard premium live sports across Thailand, Laos and Cambodia.
The collaboration brings together Friend MTS’s anti-piracy solutions including forensic watermarking and global monitoring services to protect English Premier League (EPL) matches.
JAS TV, operator of the MONOMAX streaming service, acquired EPL rights through 2031 for Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. At the start of the 2025/26 EPL season, JAS TV went live with Friend MTS to deliver an anti-piracy strategy. The focus is to identify and take down re-streaming users who feed Thai pirate sites, protecting the value of rights and ensuring a trusted experience for their subscribers.
Sang Do Lee, President of JAS TV, said: “Securing the Premier League rights was a major milestone for us and protecting that investment is critical to our strategy. With FMTS’s anti-piracy solutions, we can ensure fans enjoy the Premier League through official platforms like our MONOMAX streaming service, while safeguarding the value of our rights across Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. We take piracy very seriously and see the partnership with FMTS as a vital step to sustaining the future of premium sports content in our region.”
Shane McCarthy, CEO of Friend MTS, added: “We’re proud to support JAS TV in protecting its EPL content - making sure fans enjoy the game safely on MONOMAX, while keeping pirates at bay. Securing these rights meant a major financial commitment and that demands the strongest anti-piracy technology to protect the investment. I’m confident this collaboration strengthens the wider fight against piracy in Thailand and across the region, building on growing global momentum to safeguard premium live sports.”
