Digital Pirates Winning Battle With Studios

Hi everyone,

We've come across this article recently that describes how piracy is causing a major dent in Hollywood's revenue stream:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/05/business/media/05piracy.html?_r=2&ref=business

"The Motion Picture Association of America says that illegal downloads and streams are now responsible for about 40 percent of the revenue the industry loses annually as a result of piracy."

"“It is becoming, among some demographics, a very mainstream behaviour,” said Eric Garland, the chief executive of BigChampagne."

"With so much pirated material online, Hollywood is turning to technological solutions. Perhaps most important, media companies are learning from the music industry’s mistakes and trying to avert broader adoption of piracy techniques. The No. 1 lesson: provide the video on the platform that users want it."

At Hyper MP, we've watched this trend developing consistently and exponentially over the past 3 years or so. Therefore, our solution is more viable today (and clearly over the years to come). We certainly do welcome the studios to meet with us to discuss in depth how we can salvage any future losses, demostrate a fully functioning beta version of the software, and turn this problem of theirs into a solid, prosperous business solution.

The Hyper MP Development Team.

The Digital Hollywood experience.

Hi everyone,

We have just come back from our third visit to the Digital Hollywood conference in Los Angeles. This conference certainly had a different feel about it. Digital Media, or most importantly, monetizing media assets on the Internet has become the hottest topic surrounding the industry. We have met many content owners who are interested in how Hyper MP can help protect and monetize their assets online.

The Internet advertising world continues to strengthen their relationships with advertisers and consumers. They are always finding ways of seamlessly reaching the consumer. More emphasis has been placed on protecting user's privacy, and improving targeting. Obviously this is most important. The trick has always been about finding an intelligent way of protecting the user, and at the same time, providing relevant advertising to maximise effect and give the user a more tailored and relevant experience. Hyper MP is very interested in how this unfolds. We are currently looking for the best Advertising Network to work with in order to get the best experience possible for all parties.

Fritz Attaway from the MPAA made an interesting comment during this conference. He stated that the motion picture studios need to look at releasing their video assets to the Internet earlier. This has by far been the biggest and most important statement to come out of the Digital Hollywood conference. It suggests that on the Internet, the consumer is king, and that there has to be a way to appeal and monetize this ever growing market. We certainly welcome the MPAA to discuss further how we can help the studios get to this stage of their evolution.

Content rights management, also referred to as the dirty word DRM played a big part in this conference. It's interesting to see what DRM means to different people. To the consumer, DRM means chains and shackles, to the content owner, it means business logic and monetization. To HyperMP, it simply means protection. We prefer to secure content to keep content owners safe and comfortable, and leave it at that. The rest of the intelligence within the HyperMP technology is based around consumer and advertiser needs and expectation. By pairing the two together, we organically achieve monetization.

As Hyper MP continues its journey, we are finding more acceptance to our offering. We believe that the correct alliances and partnerships will create a solid foundation to making this solution function online. We should always been mindful that the creative efforts of film and television shows need to be fairly rewarded. Hollywood is the dream factory of the world, and together as a global community we can keep the dreams alive.

The Hyper MP Development Team.

Monetizing P2P downloads is easy with the Hyper MP Virtual TV Network

Hi everyone,

With the recent success of the trial run of the Hyper MP Virtual TV Network across the BitTorrent portals, we are very excited to report that monetizing video content through P2P networks is easy.

We have also discovered that web portals such as Mininova are reporting a rapidly increasing user base, and an increase in activity of video download requests coming from their sites.
In a recent entry on the Mininova blog, they have reported to have reached the 4 billion download mark. They anticipate to reach the 8 billion mark by the end of this year. Therefore, video assets are clearly being shared, however, it is not being monetized. The truth is that this is a growing market which is yet an untapped source of revenue.

Please let us know if your interested in more information on how to monetize your video assets on open P2P networks.

Regards,
The Hyper MP Development Team.

Monetize P2P Networks - today

Hi everyone,

Thank you to all those who have contributed to the beta demonstration of our software. The trial run has so far been quite successful.

We have taken the time to analyse what has been offered online. The results have pointed to one very substantial point, P2P distributed video can be monetized.

This really gravitates to Anne Sweeny's comment that "Piracy is a business model". We have clearly demonstrated that Anne is correct. Our technology and analytics is proof of this very point.

Therefore, we invite all the major TV networks and film studios to discuss with us what our findings mean to their business, and how we can forge mutually beneficial relationships, leveraging from what will soon become a hyper experience for everyone.

Regards,
The HyperMP Group Development Team.

The Hyper MP Virtual Television Network is here.

Hi everyone,

We are very excited about our public beta demonstration of the Hyper MP Solution. The interesting part about this release is our ability to demonstrate the virtualisation of the television network.

Effectively this means that we are able to take all the best functions of broadcast TV, and fuse it with the best parts of Internet delivery, and feedback systems. The result is that any television network on the planet today (free to air or subscriber based) can now be ported into the Internet.

As we further develop our technology, traditional broadcasters will all be able to reap direct benefits of Hyper MP from a technology and business point of view. Viewers will also benefit by knowing that the content is legitimate (not pirated).

We welcome all broadcasters and content license holders to view a sample of our technology, and to discuss further how we can be of benefit to their business.

A public demo of our solution is now available for you to download and share.

Chernin calls for more risk-taking

At Hyper MP, we've been suggesting that media companies should be embracing innovative technology. Now, in an open statement from Peter Cherin, the head of Fox, we may start to actually see this happening.

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117971983.html?categoryId=19&cs=1

The writing is finally on the wall.
We invite Peter to have a discussion with us on this very topic, and learn something interesting about what we are aiming to achieve with our software.

To all Online Media Companies, Advertisers and Beta testers.

Our aim is to make Internet Video more accessible, and monetizable, using our software engine.

The advertising and media agencies have clearly stated their intention to pour more advertising revenue into the Internet (as reported by the Wall Street Jounal on Friday, May 25, 2007 http://online.wsj.com/article/SB118005411110914183.html?mod=dist_smartbrief). We feel that our Beta testers should also benefit from this.

As we now enter the vibrant world of Internet Video, it should be noted that monetizing video can be realised in multiple ways. By taking the best aspects of broadcast TV and fusing it with the best parts of current and future web advertising, Hyper MP has managed to build many sustainable business models from the one innovative software engine.

The result being a great rewarding experience for the global community. It's a Web 2.0 system that will pay Beta testers to watch videos in all forms, irrespective of where the video content comes from. The engine is also designed to reward video content providers during this Beta trial.
