NEW YORK — Porn Guardian has added Hustler to its client roster.
The company also reported it has removed more than 1 million illegal files from the Internet. More than half of these files were reported in the last three months, according to co-owner Dominic Ford.
“We started Porn Guardian as a solution to help my own porn site, DominicFord.com, battle piracy," Ford said. “We now service more than 250 brands, and are growing every month, but with the addition of some larger clients, like Hustler, our monthly take-down rate has grown exponentially.”
This proprietary technology digitally signs each downloaded movie with the User ID (and other information) of the account used to download the movie or photo. When the company finds a client’s file being illegally traded, it can easily trace that file back to the original downloader on the client’s site.
“It is possible to stop piracy, and it starts with securing your own site against hackers and closing down accounts used for piracy,” Ford said.
