The use of DreamStream's secure online file streaming system as a solution to curb digital piracy has been approved by The Motion Picture Association of America.

Chief development officer for DreamStream, Ulf Diebel, stated: "We are very excited to have the MPAA stand behind our technology." He continued: "The MPAA understands the need to be proactive - rather than reactive -- in addressing the chokehold that piracy has on the motion picture industry. Their recommendation is not something that Hollywood will take lightly."

Krishnan Rajagopalan, the MPAA's vice president of digital media technologies, on June 27, 2008, announced the MPAA's intent to recommend DreamStream's file streaming technology to the major motion picture studios.

The MPAA reports that, because of piracy alone, the major motion picture studios lose more than $6 billion every year.

Founder of Solomon Entertainment Enterprises, Michael Jay Solomon, declared: "DreamStream has developed a very unique technology that is extremely important in our industry, because of copyright infringement." He added: "It will allow the content providers to recoup the billions of dollars that they are loosing right now."

MGM's former vice president of intellectual property enforcement, Laura Tunberg, first introduced the MPAA to DreamStream's system in March of 2008. The MPAA, since that time, has reviewed the technology and found it to be a viable means for securing digital content, Solomon said.

Online media distribution systems, such as Apple's iTunes, in recent years, have continually fallen prey to digital piracy. DreamStream claims to have the solution to this dilemma.

Diebel commented: "The existing systems are broken". He added: "If studios and artists want to confront the problem of piracy they must embrace a comprehensive restructuring of their distribution methods."

Because it differs from existing products and services in several ways, the MPAA was attracted to DreamStream's system. Most noteworthy, DreamStream's system operates via online streaming and not file downloads. As such, purchased content cannot be stored on users' hard disks, which eliminates the possibility of copying or redistributing the digital files.

DreamStream's technology is able to transmit media files at such higher qualities than are currently being offered by DreamStream's competitors, because the content does not have to be downloaded. With only a 4 Mbps Internet connection, DreamStream's system is able to provide consumers with HD quality content.

The instant availability of the digital content offered is unique to DreamStream's technology. While most media systems require download or processing delays, DreamStream's system is able to offer its users instant access to digital content.
