Loudeye Pushes P2P Antipiracy Tech



It may not be a barren deterrent to unofficial file-swapping by the legion of the Internet, but it come massively lock aloft to it.


That's how Loudeye characterized its exotic high-performance Titanium antipiracy provision announced this week using the Seattle-based provider of business-to-business digital prevailing conditions solution.


The service protect its customers' digital media reserves by scan all of the crucial file-sharing network on the Internet -- such bordered by leave of Kazaa, iMesh, Grokster and e-Donkey -- and flood the computer of would-be pirate next to bogus flush grades.


When someone do a search all for glad shielded by Loudeye, its software fill up their search screen with its fussy measures, explain Loudeye vice president and basic director for digital media rigid plus undisruptive haven Marc Morgenstern. "Only they twirl up in the making from thousands of contrasting peers," he tell TechNewsWorld.


The results be disguised to appearance close to gentle search results, he noted. "Every aspect of the showcase be disguised, from the banner to the extent to the swiftness to the username to the hover gen -- everything that you could plausibly design." The outlook, he unremitting, is to gross the display generate by Loudeye as tantalizing to a would-be buccaneer as viable.


Moreover, Morgenstern said, Loudeye's software can confer its phony search results primacy done other results for that reason that they will be display more prominently on a pirate's eyeshade.


For both 100 folks questioning for a title protected by Loudeye, 99 will receive the company's counterfeit search results, he claim.


That charge seem far-fetched to Greg Bildson, COO of LimeWire, a New York City-based architect of file-sharing software. "Ninety-nine percent?" he ask rhetorically. "I truly faintness that." "That would necessitate a tremendous cipher of nodes man controlled by them," Bildson told TechNewsWorld. "They'd enjoy to have a computer liberty like Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) , with 20,000 machines, perchance more." Loudeye said in a speech that it can claim its soaring rate of protection because it have greater than double the roads political its antipiracy service.
