Digital Content Loss on the Internet

The information on the individual sharing the files, including IP address, Internet Service Provider, location, etc., is collected into an infringement database.

"Take Down" notices that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act can automatically be sent with a rules-based engine. Customers may also choose to screen the lists manually through the Customer Information Management System (CIMS) software application. The database is accessible world wide and reports can be generated by any metric to track reduction progress including infringement results by title, country, ISP, and P2P or public network.

BayTSP’s systems continually monitor the infringers for compliance with the take down notice, and record when it was removed. BayTSP’s customers have reported that eight out of 10 individuals caught sharing specific intellectual property are not seen doing so again. In addition customers can request “evidence packages” that include a digital copy of the pirated content and background materials needed to take additional legal steps.

Sustained Protection - The thoroughness of Internet sweeps is consistent, regardless of how many infractions are found. If tracking and removal services are maintained on digital content, the infringement occurrences will drop. Employing tracking and enforcement techniques can greatly reduce the ability of an individual to find illegal software online, creating the potential for increased sales.
