Method and devices are directed to invention is directed towards analyzing packets on-the-fly for pirated content. Packets are intercepted and analyzed to determine if the packets include media content. If media content is detected, a comparator determines a fingerprint associated with the media content. The comparator then compares the determined fingerprint to other fingerprints within a data store. If a match is found, forensic information may be collected. Piracy detection responses may also be performed, including: blocking transmission of the media content, providing a piracy alert message, degrading a quality of the media content, or including within the media content a watermark and/or fingerprint. In one embodiment, the packet analysis and the comparator may reside within a same or different device within a path between a source device and a destination device to enable piracy detection to be performed in real-time.
