Titan Media is easily one of the most aggressive companies in the fight against piracy. They're probably also the most successful in terms of large judgements won. They've been fighting illegal downloading and sharing of electronic files (aka piracy) for the last few years, and they are doing a pretty damn good job of winning in court. These guys take copyright law pretty f'ng seriously and it shows.
It's nice to see someone standing up to the thieves and fighting the good fight. Good job Titan, and keep it up. Too bad there's not more in this industry willing to go to war for this cause. We (ATKingom) recently won a small case in Europe against a site operator, and although it's only a small judgement, it's a start.
Sure, all of the haters out there will respond with the negative comments about how hard it might be to collect, or how it doesn't stop others from stealing, etc. I say, those are probably the people who have very little to lose in the fight against piracy. It's easy to be an armchair quarterback, but when you're on the field playing, standing in the defensive line getting hit... it's a different story.
Titan is at again, this time with a $2.7 million lawsuit filed Aug. 11 against British company GLBT Ltd., operators of GayForIt, ItsAllGay and JerkYourTube. 1
Titan Media wins more copyright cases
"$49,500 for damages and online willful copyright infringement. In the other case, an individual was fined $41,250 for using five Titan images in a CD photo collection that he sold via online auction site eBay."2
$1.275 million judgment against online piracy ring for infringement of 17 Titan titles
?You can run and hide but in the end, everything you do online can be traced back to you,? Webb added. ?We were able to subpoena ISPs and track the IP address and individual identity of each person on the pirate blog [who was] posting and distributing our films. Once again, the message is clear ? if you steal and pirate Titan films, you will be caught and you will be prosecuted.? 3
