(SAN JOSE, CA) — Suze Randall, the most pirated U.S. erotic photographer is using new technology provided by BayTSP.com to bust internet thieves and vows to donate the proceeds to AIM Healthcare Foundation, a non-profit AIDS organization.
Photographer Suze Randall, whose glamorous nude pictures are downloaded thousands of times a day from unauthorized web sites and news groups, has declared war on Internet piracy of her work and says she will donate initial legal profits to AIM, a non-profit AIDS service that screens adult models in the Los Angeles area.
Suze Randall, whose www.suzerandall.com <www.suzerandall.com> won Best Photography Site at the Adult Video News Online awards in January, estimates that copyright infringement is costing her millions of dollars a year. “It isn’t just the financial loss,” she said. “I’m going after pirates and hackers mainly because they are posting my pictures in unprotected areas where anyone can download them. This undoes all the work we put into ensuring that my images are available to adults only.”
She believes that her legal campaign will be successful because she has signed with BayTSP.com, Inc., the cutting-edge creator of Internet security applications for online content that patrols the Internet for copyright infringers and identifies web sites and news groups that are illegally using copyrighted content.
“There were a number of security applications we considered”, said Humphry Knipe, Suze Randall’s business manager and husband. “We selected BayTSP because of the wide reach of their spidering program and the ability to track previously stolen images and images which have been cropped or otherwise altered. By extracting the “DNA” from each image they can identify a picture even if only a fragment is used, in artwork for example. The BayTSP spider has already caused newsgroup services to delete over 12,000 of our images from their databases and this is just the beginning.”
“We are honored that Suze Randall has selected BayTSP.com to protect her valuable library of online photographs,” said Mark Ishikawa, CEO and cofounder of BayTSP.com. “It is our goal to get the estimated 5,000 sites illegally profiting from her work to comply with federal copyright laws and assist Ms. Randall in removing her images from web sites that are easily accessible to underage viewers.”
