Friend MTS Partners With JAS TV
Friend MTS has partnered with Jasmine International Public Company Limited (JAS TV) to protect premium live sports content across Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, strengthening efforts to combat piracy of English Premier League (EPL) matches in the region.
JAS TV, which operates the MONOMAX streaming service, secured EPL broadcast rights through to 2031 for the three territories. The partnership went live at the start of the 2025/26 season, with Friend MTS deploying an end-to-end anti-piracy strategy designed to identify and take down illegal re-streaming operations feeding local pirate sites.
The deployment combines Friend MTS's 24/7 global monitoring with both subscriber and distribution watermarking technologies. Subscriber watermarking embeds a unique identifier into each individual stream, enabling rapid identification and disconnection of pirate accounts, while distribution watermarking adds an invisible fingerprint at channel or platform level to trace leaks throughout the video supply chain. Together, the technologies are designed to detect and remove illicit feeds in real time during live matches.
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, 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."
