Red Apple Media Debuts ‘Pirate ID’ Tracking & Protection Service

SAN DIEGO—Red Apple Media has debuted Pirate ID, a new service designed to aid studios in the fight against online piracy by using embedded data to help studio heads and legal teams identify suspected content “pirates." Pirate ID, coupled with Red Apple Media’s Media Vault file storage system, was created to provide studios and online video providers valuable peace of mind and unsurpassed security to ensure that their online assets are protected.

Unbeknownst to the user, Pirate ID anonymously embeds and encrypts their username and IP address into each downloaded file so that only the site owner may read it. Should a file be discovered on a site containing pirated content, owners can more easily investigate who is the person responsible and take necessary action. And with Media Vault, studios can securely store master video files in a HIPPA-rated data center complete with bio metric, 24-hour manned security, and a fire-protected video surveillance storage system.

“Pirate ID was developed to provide clients with another indispensible tool to keep their online businesses running at full potential,” Red Apple Media CEO and co-founder Steven Daris said. “Our in-house development team works full-steam to create user-friendly and effective protection, storage and streaming technologies that help modernize and streamline our clients’ online businesses. It’s one of the ways Red Apple Media sets itself apart from the rest.”

The Red Apple Media team will provide free demonstrations of Pirate ID, Media Vault and Media Commander adaptive bit rate streaming software at the Phoenix Forum, March 27-29. Media guru and tech developer Sean Green will be on-hand to answer questions regarding streaming technology, download protection, Flash, Wowza and more.
