Friend MTS has partnered with Jasmine International’s JAS TV to provide an end-to-end anti-piracy strategy for Premier League coverage across Thailand, Laos and Cambodia.
JAS TV, which operates the MONOMAX streaming service, has secured Premier League rights in the three markets through to 2031 and has implemented Friend MTS services from the start of the 2025/26 season.
The deployment combines 24/7 global monitoring with forensic watermarking, designed to identify and disrupt re-streaming users supplying pirate sites during live matches. Friend MTS says the approach uses two layers: subscriber watermarking, which inserts a unique identifier into individual streams to help pinpoint and disconnect compromised accounts, and distribution watermarking, which adds an invisible fingerprint at the channel or platform level to trace leaks across the supply chain.
Sang Do Lee, President of JAS TV, said protecting the Premier League investment is central to the operator’s strategy, adding that the partnership is intended to steer viewers towards official platforms such as MONOMAX while protecting rights value across the region.
Friend MTS CEO Shane McCarthy said the company will support JAS TV in keeping illicit feeds offline during live games, describing the agreement as part of wider momentum to strengthen anti-piracy efforts in Thailand and neighbouring markets.
