Say a hungry law student or paralegal in SFO would work for $50,000 plus office on a one-year contract... 5 VODs and 15 Studios would put in $5,000 - $7,000 ea. Fixed number of dollars, for a fixed number of months, for a first try to attack the problem.

Get the SFO studios, plus what's left of LA, and hottie Michael Lucas, then AEBN/NS, SufeFlixxx, HotMovies, Yappo, XTube.
See my posting above. We (Titan) simply cannot afford the time and energy needed to make something like this successful. We are too small of a company and do not have the resources. The 3 VOD companies you mention have the resources to make this happen and they get hurt the most from online piracy. They need to be the leaders in this, not the individual studios.

As we have told them all....we would be happy to help plan and set-up the organization and develop strategy. But in the end, it's got to be the big guys that take this by the horns and make it happen.

If you are a producer whose content is distributed on any of these VOD network...speak up! Tell them you want them to be more active in protecting online content and that you are willing to contribute. You are the ones that are going to make this happen. It's got to come from the ground up, not the top down.
