If you believe the anti-piracy lobbies, Audible Magic’s CopySense system is the absolute best system you can buy, protecting Universities, and more importantly, their students, from copyright violation accusations. However, the question has to be asked, “Does it really work?”
Prince, described by some people as one of the most creative and talented musicians, hired the infamous “Web Sheriff” who announced lawsuits against The Pirate Bay in the U.S., France and Sweden. “Way to go on losing all your fans” was the first response of Pirate Bay admin Brokep.
It’s a familiar story: copyright holder finds his stuff available via The Pirate Bay, artist threatens Pirate Bay through a proxy, Pirate Bay laughs at artist and proxy, and the BitTorrent community carries on downloading as if nothing ever happened. The Web Sheriff takes on the battle where everyone else has failed.
