nsane.forums Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Detica CView could help ISPs meet some requirements of Digital Economy Bill Technology consultancy Detica today announced a new technology which could help internet service providers (ISPs) monitor illegal file sharing over the internet, but the firm was quick to point out that the system does not identify individual offenders. Detica CView is currently being trailed by Virgin Media to help the firm gain a view of the overall level of illegal file sharing on its network. Detica's media accounts director, Dan Klein, explained that CView uses a form of deep packet inspection technology, but removes any IP addresses at the outset meaning that no activity can be tied to individual customers. "It's a network device mirroring the traffic, so in that sense it's deep packet inspection, but that's where it stops," he said. The new service could therefore help ISPs meet some requirements of the forthcoming Digital Economy Bill, such as monitoring levels of copyright infringement on their networks, but will not be able to help them enforce the controversial three-strikes policy of cutting off persistent offenders. Klein argued that more invasive technologies should not be necessary to help music and film industries solve the current problems of copyright infringement. "We believe we've found something which is proportionate to the problem of copyright infringement. We don't believe that finding the individual [offender] is proportionate," said Klein. "This allows the music and film industries to really understand how they can take the plunge and get their digital catalogues online and get their business models right."

Ambrocious Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Many future internet bills will quickly become likened to the Salem Witch hunts where neighbors get paid to turn in each other and then the masses of disconnections happen. After a while people will get utterly pissed off from the overall lack of the internet but the rules will already be set into laws in which a lot of ignorant people will have endorsed.

HX1 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 You know maybe this could be a good thing in actually showing how much the 'Piracy' is actually effecting the economy and how much of a problem it isn't.. Especially when taking into consideration that many would not be purchasing or endeavoring to create income to purchase as a life goal anyway..And to Ambrocious.. oddly and sadly enough I hate to be the one to tell you this or give it to you as something to think about but all other aspects of life are quite the same as well, trust is not a good thing.. and is exploited.. in every aspect. It takes too much anymore to even have a person gain it.. ( which is greatened the more its taken advantage of ) especially in a world of instant gratification, as a result of nothing having any worth.. and monetarily speaking.. if gives us no time.. therefore no space .. we never think or plan ahead.. we just get what we can as fast as possible.. ( and still we get nowhere )... So trust no one.. but keep sanity .. ( hard to do ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
