A new software developed will detect and block illegal song swapping.
Network security company Palisade Systems this week will launch software that can identify and block copyrighted songs as they are being traded online.
Palisade's version of the technology sits inside a network, rather than inside a file-swapping program. If installed in a university, for example, it could look inside students' e-mails, instant messages and peer-to-peer transfers, seeking audio "fingerprints" that could be compared with information in Audible Magic's database.
If this isint a case of Invasion of Privacy then I don't know what is. Big Brother (now referred to as the RIAA) watches.
