"excuse me mr so&so plc, weve found that your networks have x amount of illegal music - give us 100k or we'll drag your name through the mud" of course any co. that is in anyway involved in producing copyrighted work had better be careful of their own networks ;) theyve now realised that sweeping lawsuits that end up sueing little kids and moms for d/loading britney etc doesnt do their image any good so who better?

That is till you consider this. This follow up with education sessions, you think they will plunk down the money for the time they take up with non-working employees while they listen to all this propaganda? Nope, Betcha that ain't happening. The company will be expected to "do the right thing" and pay for that time out of their own pockets. Does anyone else have any doubt this is how it will be played? It isn't really in the company interest to do this out of the goodness of their own. This is strickly for the benefit of the cartels and they try to display a nice face mask over the club holding caveman. Nope don't buy this "we're on your side". Sure doesn't work on this end.

They are fighting back in a non intrusive way, trying to defend "their property". This could also be a ploy to see if the parent installed the program when (and if) they are sued, but disregarded the capabilities seems it would be easier for a judge to "make a statement" who knows we might get a new term "Negligent copyright Infringement". These people always have several hidden agendas behind everything they do. Ah but think of the free PR they are receiving.

Has anyone actually run it? Please understand that I'm not in favour of this, or what it represents but the program really doesn't do much. It scans your disk for any music or image file and then displays its file name for you "to decide if it's legal". It scans the disk for common P2P programs installed and as installation programs. When it's done all that you can then choose to delete any of the files or programs listed. It has a desktray mode where it can optionally block the ports for selected P2P programs. And the whole thing has a password control so that the "administrator" can prevent it being removed. It doesn't appear to ever call home or send any of this data off machine. It specifically states several times that it doesn't do this. Given the commercial source I'm inclined to believe it. So it's actually pretty mild. And mostly a complete waste of time. I can't imagine any adult using it, and if they did I can't imagine it would take any teenager more than 3 minutes to remove it. And since it doesn't actually identify much of anything, it doesn't really help anybody much. Atonishing amount of FUD around this program starting with BoingBoing. Has anyone actually run it?

Get list? Hell no unless they are paying me to get list and act as a distributor. Ya have to remember that we are independent contractors working for no money (most of us) by sharing their stuff. I despise them and the fact that they want to get list of my files to then sue me. If anything, they should be paying me to distrubute their stuff like for every movie or whatever if anything. Til then, I'll do it for free. Of course if they were paying me, it would be no dmr crap and I would have control of the files that I share personally, not them.
