P2P and Filtering
|
Forbes reports that iMesh, the third-largest file-sharing network, has settled a law suit brought by the record industry by agreeing "to incorporate some sort of filtering system that would allow owners of copyrighted music to track the distribution of their files over the system, and either limit them or charge users who download them."
This is a major event, since P2P sites have generally argued that the application of filtering technologies is not a viable option.
The iMesh website is not specific about the terms of the settlement.
