Vendor combining official determinations, private assessment and ad-market distribution
White Bullet
White Bullet provides commercial piracy-risk and advertising-exclusion resources. Its descriptions distinguish an index based on official court or authority lists from proprietary assessment that can extend beyond adjudicated sites.
Products and reported impact
The vendor describes specialist and machine-learning assessment alongside its official-list index. It reported WIPO ALERT membership in May 2021, and Peer39's marketplace lists its piracy-domain exclusion offering. Police later attributed to White Bullet a 58% decline in UK advertising and an estimated £6 million reduction in IWL-site advertising revenue from UK traffic during 2022. The original study and counterfactual were not acquired, so these remain attributed estimates rather than audited cash effects.
Police attributes a58% decline in UK advertising and estimated GBP6m reduction in IWL-site advertising revenue from UK traffic, January–December2022, to White Bullet research. No original study, counterfactual or cash record acquired.
Current marketplace counterpart lists White Bullet as providing a piracy-domain exclusion resource. Exact launch, purchaser activation and cash effects are unverified.
