System, apparatus, and methods are directed to preventing a media player from playing a pirated media file, such as a pre-release motion picture. The invention treats the pirated media file as an infection and develops an immune system for the media player. The invention may be taught how to recognize an infection by using an immunization record for each media file that is to be treated as an infection. As the media file is played in real-time, a fingerprint is determined (408). A comparison is performed between the immunization records and the determined fingerprint (410). If a match is determined (412), then an alert may be provided (414). The alert may be employed to perform any of a variety of actions, including disabling the media player, sending a message to an owner of a digital right for the media file, and the like.
