Clouseau takes on The Pirates!
p2pnet.net news:- A company called SafeMedia claims it can do what the individual and combined multi-billion-dollar might of the entertainment cartels haven’t been able to do with unstinting help from suborned governments and police forces around the world.
Stop file sharing.
Yes folks, “For the first time, policy makers have the solution to insure compliance with the law,” promises ceo Safwat Fahmy. “Businesses, universities, organizations and Internet users can comply in a friendly positive environment without expensive and hostile legal action enforcement. Copyright holders can finally make the Internet available as a safe, viable distribution channel for all content industries.”
And it’s all down to something wittily called Clouseau.
Inspector Jacques Clouseau is, you’ll recall, Peter Sellers’ brilliant characterization of a ridiculous, ham-handed French gendarme who wends his way through the Pink Panther series getting everything it’s possible to get wrong, wrong. And when he does succeed, it’s by mistake.
SafeMedia’s Clouseau, “was designed from the ground up specifically to stop all P2P Internet piracy no matter where it originates world wide, it is safe and invisible, causes little or no latency in the network, it is self-healing and best of all, it is a user-friendly compliance, and completely shields user anonymity.”
“Pirates are smart and innovative, and so is Clouseau,” says SafeMedia.
Who’ll outsmart who?
Definitely stay tuned ;P

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!

This product is obviously nothing more than snake oil designed to convince gullible people running shared access networks that it will protect them from the xxAA’s.
I’m still trying to figure out what ‘completely shields user anonymity’ even means.

What a scam. This is nothing more than another huge money grab by a real scumbag who wants the governments to do his dirty work.
From the safemedia website:
We need the Congress to insure that the greatest numbers of networks are equipped with Clouseau®.
Congress can use its ‘power of the purse’ to fund the installation of Clouseau® in every public and private institution receiving Federal funds. Libraries, colleges and universities, government offices, and vendors doing business with the government would risk loss of funding unless they deploy the technology.
Congress can use its lawmaking powers to increase the civil and criminal penalties for violating the laws already on the books.
Congress can use its ‘power of persuasion’ to inform Americans, and our public and private institutions that P2P piracy must cease and desist, and the solution is Clouseau® and Windows® TC®.
Congressional action is the best means to the end of illegal file transfer! Take Action Today with SafeMedia’s solutions!

Too late Clouseau!
While DRM is dying and p2p is expending with decentralized client/server app that can fake any protocols, any applications, any contents and confuse any IP address it is too late!
Hopefully clouseau will be able to cost the entertainement industry few more hundred of million of dollars to precipitate a little bi more their comming death.

This is the best thing that could have happened for the Entertainment Industry! Finally, somebody has figured out a way to stop everyone from stealing music. And the “stealers” call themselves “FANS”. If you are really a music lover, you’ll go out and buy the CD or pay for the song you want.

yes, it does work, but only for a little while longer.
once p2p networks get smart and watch the definate signatures they bleed when connecting. Safe media is done!
If emule ever starts to email there server list in fragments instead of posting all of them, safe media is done!
