* Take Down Notices –APAP will issue DMCA citations to infringing sites from a law firm that specializes in infringement litigation.
* Content Monetization Option – FSC will negotiate with tube sites, to post trailers that take users to a retail option where they can PURCHASE content from the APAP subscriber producers, similar to promotional trailers used by mainstream companies on sites like YouTube.
* Documented Statistics – Data will be compiled to show producers which websites are infringing content and which content is posted on these sites, as well as how infringers respond to DMCA notices and how quickly. You can then use the data for your own information or as documentation in a lawsuit.
* Pre-Litigation and Litigation Coordination – APAP attorney Gill Sperlein will review site ownership, analyze practices and compile data for infringing sites, as well as help producers formulate an individualized approach to legal recourse against infringers.
* Deterrence – Program participants will receive a logo they can use online or on DVD product, warning that the content has been fingerprinted to target infringers for legal action.
* ECONOMICAL – APAP is offered to FSC members, whether you own a big or small company. Fees will be based on the amount of content you want to track. FIGHT the CONTENT PIRATES!! For just hundreds of dollars a month, you can utilize any of the APAP resources to fight content theft (separate litigation costs not included).
