NAPLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / September 4, 2023 / Grove Street Funding, Inc. ("GSF") of Naples, Florida today announced it is partnering with intellectual property innovators Dean Becker and Jaime Siegel of ISP Copyright Relief, a subsidiary of 1b2s, LLC in its fight against copyright infringement. GSF has engaged Facterra LLC, a subsidiary of American Films, Inc., to provide data monitoring and record evidence support of copyright infringement on over 10,000 films and television episodes, as previously announced earlier this year. GSF has engaged ISP Copyright Relief to facilitate pre-litigation licenses and releases for numerous Internet Service Providers (ISP).
ISP Copyright Relief is empowered to offer paid up terms and releases to a large number of ISPs, as an alternative to the litigations that GSF already has underway against RCN Telecom Services LLC, WideOpenWest Finance LLC, and Grande Communications Networks, LLC and those it is planning. With a portfolio of over 10,000 films and television episodes the partnership between GSF and ISP Copyright Relief is intended to ensure that the copyright owners receive the compulsory compensation under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) for illegal streaming that has occurred, without long-term business distractions and significant legal expenses for ISP caused by these DMCA violations.
"We believe that content owners are entitled to be compensated for use of their content under the DMCA," said Tom Murphy, Co-Founder and CEO of GSF. "Dean, Jaime and the ISP Copyright Relief team bring extensive IP experience, negotiating settlements between ISP for the benefit of copyright holders. The opportunity for our teams to collaborate adds significant value in GSF's copyright enforcement legal campaign and the fight against global piracy," added Murphy.
"ISP have a tremendous amount of liability for copyright infringement, and ISP Copyright Relief was created with the intention of helping ISP's clear their outstanding liabilities to GSF at very favorable terms that won't be available after GSF has initiated litigation. ISP Copyright Relief is empowered to offer terms to ISPs that are magnitudes below what GSF is seeking through litigation. ISP Copyright Relief and its parent 1b2s, LLC are positioned to be a facilitator of transactions for both intellectual property owners and users," said Dean Becker, Co-Founder and CEO of ISP Copyright Relief.
"American Films' subsidiary Facterra prides itself as a global trust and risk mitigation partner to copyright owners," said Geoff Lee, President and CEO of American Films, Inc. "We are pleased with the opportunity to support this legal campaign using our proprietary technology at Facterra, protecting copyright owners and supporting the fight against digital fraud," added Lee.
