GoFish To Utilize Audible Magic’s Content Management and Digital Filtering Technology
LOS GATOS, California – (March 7, 2007) — GoFish Corporation (OTCBB:GOFH), the leading publicly-traded made-for-Internet video company where millions of people come to watch, upload and share videos, today announced that Audible Magic, the industry leader in content rights management, will provide filtering and identification technology for its popular website.
“GoFish’s partnership with Audible Magic will provide a massive opportunity for content owners to participate in the explosive growth occurring in online video,” said Michael Downing, co-founder and CEO of GoFish. “This agreement also will assure our strategic content partners and advertisers that GoFish is committed to protecting the rights of artists around the world.”
This agreement will allow licensed copyrighted material on GoFish to be identified by Audible Magic’s monitoring services, which provide reporting information used for revenue sharing between GoFish and its strategic partners. In addition, the Audible Magic fingerprinting software, which is based upon its CopySense technology, will enable GoFish to streamline content management in its database of hundreds of thousands of songs used in videos across the GoFish Network.
Vance Ikezoye, founder and CEO of Audible Magic said, “GoFish is dedicated to delivering dynamic online video entertainment content to its community of millions around the globe. Our technology will support the ever-growing number of GoFish enthusiasts, and will enable GoFish to monetize its extensive video library while protecting artists and their copyrighted works.”
This news follows last month’s announcement by GoFish to acquire Bolt Media, a popular youth-oriented social networking website, creating the world’s largest independent online video company with a community of nearly six million monthly unique visitors.
GoFish Corporation, (OTCBB: GOFH) headquartered in San Francisco, is a leading consumer online video destination that, in two years, has grown to deliver millions of videos per month to a rapidly growing audience of enthusiasts.
