Friend MTS, the number one anti-piracy provider in media, sports, and entertainment, today announced it is partnering with MNC Media & Entertainment, Southeast Asia's largest integrated media group, to implement anti-piracy strategies and services for its video streaming platform, VISION . FMTS' watermarking and monitoring solutions will protect high value live sports, including Indonesia national football team matches, and safeguard the significant ongoing investments VISION is making in premium sports and entertainment.
VISION is Indonesia's most popular streaming service, featuring over 35,000 hours of entertainment including live sports, original content, micro-series, movies & series, and the most complete array of premium local and international channels. Within five years of its inception, VISION has become Indonesia s fastest-growing streaming service, now serving around 3.7 million subscribers nationwide.
The platform offers a rich mix of both Video-On-Demand (VOD) content and live TV channels with catch-up features, serving a wide range audiences including exclusive Indonesian drama series and a variety of TV shows from MNC Media & Entertainment Free-To-Air channels (RCTI, MNCTV, GTV and iNews) - with popular broadcast titles like Indonesian Idol and Masterchef Indonesia . Also, first-run to the platform is a variety of original content titles under the brand, VISION Originals with nationwide favourites such as Pay Later , Kartu Keluarga , Dendam , and Culture Shock , and more recently, exclusive original micro-series titles spanning drama, romance, comedy, thriller, horror and fantasy genres in both horizontal and vertical formats.
VISION is also the ultimate hub for live sports, holding exclusive rights to highly anticipated football tournaments including the AFC U-17, AFC U-20, AFC U-23, AFC Asian Qualifiers, and AFF 2026, which showcased Indonesian National Football Team s matches. Its comprehensive soccer programming line-up extends to the Asian Cup 2027, UEFA Champions League, Europa League, LaLiga, Bundesliga, FA Cup, Copa Del Ray, and Euro 2028. Beyond football, subscribers gain access to premier motorsports (F1, MotoGP, Formula E, and WorldSBK) and other top-tier events like FIBA (Basketball), ATP (Tennis), and Sea Games 2025.
According to Asia Video Industry Association's (AVIA) Coalition Against Piracy (CAP), piracy consumption across Asia Pacific is rising to 59% in 2024 due to more piracy on social media and messaging platforms. This collaboration between MNC Media & Entertainment and Friend MTS is the first of its kind in Indonesia to address illegal content redistribution and persistent streaming piracy.
By choosing Friend MTS's watermarking, VISION will benefit from the industry's fastest real-time detection of illegal streams, which is critical during live sports events when every second counts. This laser focus on speed and accuracy is also a crucial aspect of FMTS' monitoring and detection services which complement watermarking to enable the effective disruption of illegal streaming networks and platforms locally and internationally.
Clarissa Tanoesoedibjo, Deputy CEO of MNC VISION said, To continuously improve and deliver high-quality viewing experiences for our subscribers, the urgency to provide a secure and trusted streaming platform is critical to protect and safeguard our rapidly growing content investments for both live sports and originals. VISION 's partnership with Friend MTS is one of our notable commitments as the leading player in Indonesian broadcast and media to continue our longstanding efforts in combatting piracy. We hope to send a clear message to right holders and our viewers that our stance against anti-piracy remains strong and hope this will raise the anti-piracy bar for the industry in Indonesia as well as the wider region.
Shane McCarthy, CEO, Friend MTS, added: Indonesia is one of the fastest-growing video streaming markets, but also one of the hardest hit by piracy. MNC's commitment to tackling piracy is a significant milestone not just for Indonesia but the entire Asia-Pacific region. Together, we're going beyond protecting content by shifting the conversation from just anti-piracy to broader cybersecurity risks including exposure to other illegal activities that put end users' data and safety at risk."
