Titan Media Wins Key Round Against Veoh.com

SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge this week allowed Titan Media parent Io Group to get an inside look at how Veoh.com supervises content on its peercasting website.

The order was made after Titan counsel Gill Sperlein was able to convince U.S. Judge Howard R. Lloyd of the likelihood of copyright infringement over Veoh’s video distribution network relating to numerous Titan Media titles.

In the suit, filed in U.S. District Court in San Jose, Calif., last year, Titan seeks claims of contributory and vicarious copy infringement, alleging Veoh allowed Internet surfers access to the videos, which were later taken down.

Titan claims that the videos — “Boner — Man’s Best Friend,” “Detour,” “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,” “Island Guardian,” “River Patrol,” and “Sea Men — Fallen Angel IV,” as well as others — were shared over Veoh.

XBIZ was unable to reach Veoh executives for comment at press time. But in previous court motions, Veoh has claimed that it was immune from liability under the “safe harbor” provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or DMCA.

Veoh’s YouTube-like network distributes video clip content in its original format but transcodes to a lower-bandwidth and lower-quality version.

The San Diego-based company recently received extensive media attention after ex-Disney Chairman Michael Eisner joined the board. In April 2006, he was one of the investors, along with Time-Warner, in the $12.5 million second round of financing for Veoh.

With the latest order, Veoh must turn over to Titan crucial information on the company’s policies and procedures, including data relating to its Internet traffic and its ability to monetize that traffic.

Veoh also must supply documents on policies over online adult material and ways the company prevents child pornography from being published on their website, as well as papers identifying its networking architecture and how it tracks porn and other content.

Titan officials were not available for comment late Tuesday.
