Another individual, who is involved with one of partners of this group, is also ripping off another client. In fact, I just got off the phone with them (regarding theft) two days before going to Xbiz to meet some folks. No fucking way am I going to partner with them.. and when I say "them".. again.. I am not referring to any of the studios involved.

Vendors at the Content Protection Retreat have the option to showcase their services via quick introductions and meet with potential clients independently. The Content Protection Retreat does not revolve around promoting specific vendors or law firms, but we do have a no drama policy so we require all attendees, panelists, and vendors to act professionally with each other. Any anti-piracy service that meets those expectations could register to attend.
From a studio and client perspective, drama amongst anti-piracy service providers is counter-intuitive to moving the industry in a more positive direction. Actually, the more competition that exists for anti-piracy services catering to adult the better. In my opinion, increased competition in that area contributes to having additional options, services being forced to improve their services to remain competitive, and it drives rates down. The behind the scenes drama is frustrating for any business (we all deal with it), but it doesn't matter too much to a client who will primarily be focused around the results and the quality of service.
