Titan Sues AEBN, Webnovas Alleging Copyright Infringement

SAN FRANCISCO — Gay content company Titan Media has filed two lawsuits against Charlotte, N.C.-based AEBN, which operates Pornotube.com and Webnovas Technologies, the Ontario, Canada, operator of Xtube.com.

Both suits allege that the YouTube-styled websites, which are driven by user submissions, infringe on Titan copyrights by displaying unauthorized content.

While separate lawsuits, both complaints charge that AEBN and Webnovas encouraged users to submit content owned by Titan without verifying the ownership of the material.

According to both suits, the defendants operate under a business model wherein they profit from remaining ignorant of the rights of the bona fide copyright holders.

Titan registers all of its films and protects its online content with DRM technology, court papers said.

According to the Titan complaint, employees for the content company have documented 350,000 alleged instances of unauthorized displays of copyrighted works by Webnovas.

The suit against Webnovas also names Gonetmarket, which runs a paysite associated with Xtube that charges users fees to watch additional content.

The complaint filed against AEBN charges that multiple Titan films illegally appeared on the PornoTube website, including “110 Degrees in Tucson,” “Fallen Angel III,” “Seamen: Fallen Angel IV” and “Slammer.” According to court papers, Titan employees documented 61,000 unauthorized viewings of the company’s content.

An official from Webnovas told XBIZ that the company had no comment on the pending litigation.

AEBN told XBIZ that their in-house counsel planned to issue a statement within the coming days.

Neither case is a first for Titan, which filed suit against the Time Warner-back Veoh in July. That suit charges Veoh, which counts former Walt Disney Co. boss Michael Eisner as one of its board members, of using pirated adult content to build market share to compete with industry leader, YouTube.
