Internet service providers are cooperating more and more with copyright holders to crack down on illegal downloading and peer-to-peer file-sharing.
Becky Waring published a very interesting 'round-up' look at the current state of the 'battle' between copyright holders (primarily RIAA) and the very popular (yet largely illegal) "Torrent" P2P file-sharing phenomenon on Windows Secrets.
There are some tough new laws recently enacted, or under consideration, in many countries following the recent convictions of the operators of the popular Pirates Bay Torrent search engine in Sweden ... laws that could get people "blacklisted" from the Internet.
Internet Service Providers are coming under increasing pressure to use technology to identify people using Torrent applications and punish them, and Torrent users are using technology to escape detection. This 'battle' poses some very serious questions about the issues of privacy and technology.
Ms. Waring has done an excellent job with this article, and I invite my readers to read it. Please click the link below.
