Titan Media Joins ASACP

LOS ANGELES – Gay adult producer and distributor Titan Media, a subsidiary of San Francisco-based Io Group, has joined the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection as a corporate sponsor.

“Io Group/Titan Media is proud to be associated with and support all the great work done by ASACP,” Keith Webb, vice president of Io Group, said. “We urge others in the industry to support ASACP and their long-term goals of protecting children in the online world.”

Titan Media was formerly an approved ASACP member at the executive level for more than a year.

Titan has been a leading advocate of HIV awareness and safe sex practices within the adult entertainment industry through its flagship brands TitanMen and ManPlay. The company also has worked vigorously to protect children from exposure to adult content and has waged an ongoing battle against file-sharing networks and various websites over copyright infringement. Titan has maintained the belief that many file-sharing networks expose underage children to adult content through their rampant dissemination of pirated content.

To reduce this exposure, Titan and Io Group employ the use of an age-verification system called C.O.P.S., or Child Online Protection Services. The company also uses an embedded mark that blocks adult images called the Digimarc K.I.D. Safe Watermark, and metatags that flag Titan content as being adult. Titan also does not ship any of its products without an adult Signature Statement.

"Titan Media is in the industry for the long term and their business procedures reflect this commitment,” Joan Irvine, executive director of ASACP, said. “It wasn’t until I met with Gill Sperlein and Keith Webb and they explained the amount of business they turn away (more than 60 percent), that I understood their real commitment.”

In November, Titan was awarded nearly $56,000 against an online adult website owner for infringing on the copyrights of images posted on AreaGay.com. Titan also was awarded $45,000 from a man who sold a CD photo collection of Titan images through auction site eBay.

Two months earlier, Titan won a $418,000 judgment in a copyright infringement case against Sobe-cfg.com and Sobear.com. Titan claimed that the site's owner had infringed on 279 Titan images.

Some of Titan's efforts at curbing the amount of copyright theft that currently exists online has resulted in letters to the U.S. Senate accusing P2P network Kazaa of doing little, if nothing, to control the amount of freely traded pornography files that end up in the hands of underage users.
