Jennifer Wilson · 2026-10-30

When Reba Rocket of Takedown Piracy got the nod for WIA Woman of the Year at the 2027 XBIZ Exec Awards, it wasn't just another line on a resume. It was a signal that the behind-the-scenes work of protecting adult content is finally getting its due. If you're not familiar with Takedown Piracy, they're the folks who help creators and studios fight back against piracy. It's not glamorous work, but it's essential. And Reba Rocket has been at the forefront of that fight. ### Why This Nomination Matters The XBIZ Exec Awards honor the business minds and innovators who keep the adult industry moving forward. The WIA Woman of the Year category specifically recognizes women who've made significant contributions to the space. Reba's nomination puts a spotlight on the often-overlooked world of content protection. Think about it: every time a scene gets leaked or a clip gets stolen, it's not just a financial loss—it's a violation of trust. Reba and her team at Takedown Piracy have built a reputation for being relentless in pursuit of those who profit from stolen content. That kind of dedication doesn't go unnoticed. ### The Person Behind the Piracy Fight Reba isn't just a name on a lawsuit. She's someone who's spent years building relationships with creators, understanding their struggles, and developing strategies to keep their work safe. In an industry where content is currency, that's invaluable. Her nomination also highlights a broader shift: the adult industry is increasingly recognizing the importance of infrastructure roles. It's not just about the performers (though they're crucial). It's about the lawyers, the tech wizards, the marketers, and yes, the piracy fighters who make it all work. ### What's Next? The 2027 XBIZ Exec Awards will be held in January, and the competition is stiff. But win or lose, Reba's nomination is a win for everyone who believes that protecting intellectual property is key to a sustainable industry. So here's to Reba Rocket—and to all the unsung heroes working behind the scenes to keep adult content safe and profitable. You might not see them on screen, but their impact is felt every day.
