Anti-piracy outfits come in all shapes and sizes but the new venture 'IP House' aims to stand tall and above all.

There are two ways to reduce piracy. Either make it easier to access content legally or make it harder to pirate. The former is significantly more effective than the latter. Taking down pirate streaming sites is a game of whack-a-mole and peer to peer won't go anywhere.
