Default New Anti - Piracy Tool

When Kevin Bermeister of Kazaa fame and Michael Speck, former head of Music Industry’s anti-piracy arm join together to form a new company called Brilliant Digital Entertainment, you know the outcome will not be good. The brainchild of this duo is an application called Copyrouter that will use deep packet inspection to detect illicit files shared on the Internet.The application has been promoted as “the tool” that will eradicate child pornography but its true intent is much more nefarious.


If it can sniff out child porn which is great, but it can also sniff out pirated media like movies, music, and games. The application is brilliant in its execution. Any customer attempting to access a file deemed “illegal” by the application will be redirected to a legal version which they can purchase. The legal version of the file is provided by the ISP who will bill the customer and receive a cut of the proceeds. Nothing like dangling the carrot of easy revenue in front of the ISPs to give them incentive to run the application on their network.


As expected, “there is keen interest from ISPs, law-enforcement agencies and film and music publishers in the United States and Europe.” One problem, though… Copyrouter is unable to handle BitTorrent traffic! Seriously. The same swarming technology that makes BitTorrent so efficient also makes it impossible for the Copyrouter application to examine and identify BitTorrent files as “illegal”. Let’s hope our revenue motivated and politically pressured ISPs, don’t foist this upon us anytime soon.

This is great for child porn blocking. But bad for other things. Rrrrrrrrrrrrr matey!

Looks like this won't really do too much then...

That story scares the shit out of me . I hate torrents so I would be sunk if our ISP did that (and they are ******** so they would if they could).

Thing is, if it cant stop torrents, wouldn't all the paeodophiles just use torrents instead, where they cant be stopped? Doesn't seem like a bright idea to me .

I can't stand torrents either (only because I got busted.....twice). Yes, but I am sure they would eventually figure out how to get torrents. But companies have been putting files up pretending they were a pirateer and then sending warning letters to the downloader. I should know
