It seems the movie studios have adopted a new tactic in the fight against p2p. They are employing a company called BayTSP to scan the common P2P networks for copyrighted material , especially new movie releases, being uploaded ( note they arnt looking for downloaders , only uploaders. Of cource on Bittorrent you are both !) . Now BayTSP claim they have fingerprinted the files the look for ( hashed probably) so renaming or modifiying slighly dosn't throw them off. They then snag your IP address and fire off a nasty email to your ISP demanding your ISP stops you sharing thier material. In my case the ISP caved in an sent me a "stop it" email listing the details of the file they are objecting to. SO the big question ... will this approach work on freenet ? I would also suggest you get ready for an influx of filesharing addicts to freenet as this is causing a lot of traffic in the forums and i have already seen freenet being put forward as a solution to this attack :-) , it certainly seems to be the ideal solution to me but i am no expert. _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.
