$AMFL David F. Tamaroff to Head Legal Affairs at American Films
Press Release | 10/21/2021
NEW BOSTON, N.H., Oct. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- David F. Tamaroff, a longtime advocate for content creators, will lead the legal team at intellectual property protection firm American Films, Inc. (OTC: AMFL), it was announced today.
Tamaroff, formerly the company’s outside counsel at Florida-based Morgan & Morgan, P.A., officially assumed his duties as general counsel and vice president for legal affairs on October 15.
“David has been critical to the company’s recent growth, particularly with our exciting work in establishing a technology-based platform for identifying copyright infringement,” said Craig Campbell, the company’s treasurer and chief financial officer. “His experience with complex intellectual property infringement cases give us the firepower we need to go global with our anti-piracy litigation,” Campbell added.
A Doylestown, PA native, Tamaroff has practiced intellectual property law in Florida since attending the University of Miami School of Law from which he graduated magna cum laude in 2011. Previously, he also studied biochemistry and biophysics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and performed research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
“My passion has always been helping artists and innovators protect their rights,” Tamaroff said. “I’ve worked extensively litigating BitTorrent and other piracy cases, and I look forward to helping American Films vindicate the rights of its creative clients and partners worldwide.”
BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer digital file sharing application that has facilitated the infringement of a vast amount of intellectual property.
American Films owns, develops, and acquires intellectual property, which it seeks to monetize at higher rates through proprietary technology, litigation, and asset digitization. Its unique proprietary processes and technology include FACTERRA, a web-based, evidence-gathering program that identifies instances of copyright infringement and allows American Films to pursue intellectual property protection litigation on behalf of copyright owners.
“Facterra will be a game changer for online piracy cases,” Tamaroff said, adding that he looks forward to using the new platform to prosecute infringement cases around the world for American Films, including in Brazil, where the company plans to launch operations in the near future. Brazil is known for its high level of copyright infringement activity.
Tamaroff said that American Films’ legal focus in the U.S. initially will be on violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

$AMFL American Films Will be First OTC-Traded Company to Trade on the Leading Digital Securities Platform, the tZERO ATS, Urges Its Shareholders to Open tZERO Markets Trading Accounts
Press Release | 09/02/2021
NEW BOSTON, N.H., Sept. 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Films, Inc. (OTC: AMFL), an intellectual property anti-piracy innovator and developer of films and other creative projects, today announced a timeframe for its plans to trade on the tZERO ATS, now slated for the fourth week of September.
An owner, developer, and acquirer of intellectual property in the film, music, and media industries that currently trades over-the-counter, American Films will retain its existing ticker symbol AMFL, subject to regulatory approval.
tZERO ATS is a regulated alternative trading system operated by tZERO ATS, LLC, a FINRA member broker-dealer subsidiary of tZERO, a leader in blockchain innovation and liquidity for digital securities. The securities that trade on tZERO ATS represent nearly 75% of all digital security value and are responsible for approximately 95% of dollar trading volumes globally.
American Films owns, develops, and acquires intellectual property, which it seeks to monetize at higher rates through proprietary technology, litigation, and asset digitization. Its unique proprietary processes and technology include FACTERRA, a web-based evidence gathering program that identifies instances of copyright infringement, allowing American Films to pursue intellectual property protection litigation on behalf of copyright owners.
The move to tZERO ATS represents American Films’ first step towards deploying revolutionary asset digitization tools for growth acceleration, such as security token offerings (STOs), also known as digital security offerings (DSOs) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). In its film projects in particular, this new functionality will allow American Films to offer interactive engagement as well as perpetual revenue streams around characters and intellectual property in interactive entertainment environments and the metaverse.
“Moving from the traditional markets to the blockchain is not unlike what Neil Armstrong meant in his ’one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind’ quote,” said John Carty, President and CEO of American Films.
“Both ecosystems allow shares to be exchanged, but the transparency, liquidity, and utility that will be offered by the blockchain is like turning an ordinary car trip into intergalactic travel.”
Carty added that as an innovator in intellectual property anti-piracy, it is fitting that American Films will be the first to trade on the digital platform, which offers enhanced investor disclosure and access to information, the tools required for accountability and fairness.
To trade American Films common stock on tZERO ATS, investors and existing shareholders of American Films must have or open an account at tZERO’s retail broker-dealer subsidiary, tZERO Markets. For more information on the transfer process, please visit the American Films’ website at www.americanfilms.us.
“The majority of our shareholders will have moved to tZERO on day one,” said American Films treasurer, Craig Campbell. “But we encourage the others to make the leap, as well.”
