as seen in Red Herring, who observe that the 'automatic shutdown' of sites it doesn't like could be problematic, to say the least: BAYTSP, $3M San Jose, CA http://www.baytsp.com THE PITCH: "BayTSP is emerging with the leading technology solution to online piracy of digital media. The company has developed and deployed a sophisticated spidering and detection service that identifies infringing files by their digital 'DNA,' and proceeds to automatically investigate and shut down the offending sites. Customers in the pipeline include Viacom, the NFL, and major record labels. With a slim team, low burn, and virtually no marketing expense, BayTSP has already attracted attention and interest from the major record labels and music publisher organizations in their fight against Napster and other peer-to-peer file sharing networks." WHY WE LIKE IT: Interest from major customers. WHAT THEY'RE UP AGAINST: Automatic detection and shutdown of infringement could lead to disaster if there's a mistake made. CONTACT: investor@baytsp.com
