Hotfile Deploys Vobile Technology to Protect Copyrighted Digital Content
SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Vobile, the worldwide leading provider of content identification and management services, today announced that Hotfile, a provider of file hosting solutions, is deploying Vobile's vCloud9 service to scan all files at the point of upload to ensure copyright compliance.
Vobile vCloud9 is the leading digital content protection technology service that enables cloud-storage providers to scan all types of media files, including compressed formats, to prevent copyright infringement. It is powered by VDNA Database (VDDB), the most comprehensive database of authorized video fingerprints, metadata and business rules from major movie studios, television networks and record labels. In addition, Vobile vCloud9 can offer new opportunities for content monetization by implementing the business rules authorized by rights holders, such as serving contextual targeted ads dynamically.
"We believe it is the right time for Hotfile to implement additional technical measures against copyright infringement. As the amount of content grows on cloud-storage platforms, legitimate services become vulnerable to abuse by copyright infringers," said Anton Titov of Hotfile. "We were searching for an effective method to check every media file uploaded, including compressed files. Vobile vCloud9 was chosen as the best solution that meets this criteria."
"We are pleased that Hotfile has chosen our vCloud9 service," said Yangbin Wang, CEO of Vobile. "vCloud9 is the most effective technology solution to manage copyright compliance while ensuring fair use and proper monetization of digital content as it is distributed on cloud-storage platforms over the Internet."
