In recent weeks British adult performer and three-time Shafta award winner for MILF of the Year Tanya Tate has acquired ownership of public relations agency Star Factory PR.

Now she’s battling cyber crooks who are trying to steal her name and identity and duping fans into believing they’re communicating with her.

Tate put out a press release this week announcing that she was taking steps to protect her brand and curtail piracy on Tanya Tate-owned content and to secure all her owned work. She also plans doing the same for others.

Thusly, Tate advises those in the adult industry who want protect their rights and intellectual properties to considering trademarking. Tate’s website, TanyaTate.com, features thousands of images and numerous videos bearing her stamp of ownership, a pink logo of a heart with wings

She proactively looks out for profiles on networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter that are using Tanya Tate images or trademark to mislead others into thinking they are on an official Tanya Tate site.

Tanya recently found a site on Google Blogger claiming to be an official Tanya Tate Blog. However, the blog had cut and pasted text, quotes and even videos from her website. Tate immediately contacted Google and didn’t stop fighting the group until the site was taken down.

When needed, Tate counts on the aid of Nate Glass, founder of Takedown Piracy, an anti-piracy service that was started in 2009. Glass, through Takedown Piracy, sends a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) notice on behalf of the copyright owner.
Anyone who spots stolen Tanya Tate material or finds anyone claiming to be Tanya Tate is encouraged to report such transgressions to Tate immediately. She can be reached via a myriad of means, all of which can be found on www.itsmyurls.com/tanyatate.
