MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BIO-key International, (OTC Bulletin Board: BKYI - News), a leader in finger-based biometric identification, announced today that ChoicePoint (NYSE: CPS - News), the leading provider of identification and credential verification services, has selected BIO-key's technology to integrate into an identity verification solution the company will be piloting with several of its check cashing and retail customers.
Under the agreement, ChoicePoint will incorporate BIO-key's WEB-key(TM) user identification solution in an application that helps retailers reduce the impact of identity fraud by proving that individuals are who they claim to be.

ChoicePoint is a trusted name in the security and identification industry and BIO-key is pleased to be a valued partner, providing an important part of their comprehensive solution," said Mike DePasquale, CEO of BIO-key.
"ChoicePoint customers require solutions that are convenient, fast and reliable. BIO-key's technology meets those criteria.

"These solutions will initially be used in check cashing applications in retail locations to accurately identify consumers."
Tom Colatosti, Chairman of BIO-key said, "Finger-based biometrics is the most practical, scalable and cost effective solution available to deter the multi-billion dollar identity theft crisis in America. There are many biometric technologies on the market today and each have unique roles to play in providing security and identity management solutions, however finger biometric is exceptionally well suited for applications in the high volume and rugged retail environments where identity theft breeds.

Went chasing BDE at .62 on news. - World's first full-length feature film sold online using peer-to-peer technology
SYDNEY, Australia, Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Sharman Networks, publisher and distributor of Kazaa, the world's most popular file sharing application, today announced the world's first full-length feature film to be sold online using secure peer-to-peer technology.
Under a distribution agreement between Sharman's partner Altnet and filmmaker Aum Creates, the full-length Hindi-language thriller 'Supari' is available for purchase to Kazaa's estimated 60 million users worldwide for US$2.99. Altnet's technology allows Aum Creates to be paid each time the movie file is shared and purchased via Kazaa. Kazaa users can also download free movie trailers, production footage, and music videos, as well as purchase songs from the movie soundtrack for US 90 cents each.
The film is protected, promoted and distributed with Altnet technology, which gives content owners complete control over the rules of distribution and pricing of their products. The efficiency of peer-to-peer can provide an approximate 90% cut in bandwidth costs compared with traditional web site distribution. Altnet's service gives the film a preferred placement in Kazaa search listings, making it easy for fans to find.
According to Nikki Hemming, CEO Sharman Networks, "The Bollywood movie market is growing at twice the rate of Hollywood, in terms of production and revenue. This is where the benefits of peer-to-peer technology become really clear. Selling large, high quality files online, such as feature films, at low cost to a massive audience across the globe quite simply cannot be done efficiently using traditional websites. Peer-to-peer technology offers the movie industry a huge opportunity to massively enhance its distribution and generate revenue."
Supari's Indian distributors Yash Raj Films initiated promotion of the film on Kazaa prior to its release in India. According to Supari Director, Padam Kumar, "Through movie trailer, soundtrack, and 'behind the scenes' footage promotions, Kazaa has already managed to create widespread awareness for Supari. Selling the full movie is a logical next step, and with a relatively low budget movie, it is a very cost effective way to reach the masses.
"P2P is an exciting new avenue for revenue generation and global distribution for the film industry. The global reach of Kazaa is phenomenal, and it is a very targeted marketing avenue for us since it's so entertainment focused."
Supari movies can be found in the video section of the Kazaa application or by searching for 'Supari'. Download Kazaa at www.kazaa.com.
