File Sharers Can No Longer Hide
"Uploaders to eDonkey.com, Bit Torrent and other file-sharing networks beware: The commercial equivalent to Big Brother is watching you."
"EDonkey and Bit Torrent are two of the most popular file sharing networks and use a technique called swarming that allows users to download slices of a file, according to BayTSP. These slices could come from a pirated movie or software application.
The swarming technique lets multiple users access the files for download simultaneously. As users download a file, they also share the portions they've already received.
FirstSource monitors for the first uploads of a client's intellectual property to the eDonkey and Bit Torrent networks. When the system spots a file name matching the client's content, it initiates a download to confirm that the file is what it appears to be.
Once the content is validated, the FirstSource system captures the Internet Protocol address and identifying information of other users downloading and sharing the pirated material.
The system also logs which portions of the file that each user shares. This data is stored in an infringement database as evidence in the event the client decides to pursue litigation against the file sharers. "
Read the whole story here. I'm sure they'll be a new generation of P2Ps that'll get around this.

I just saw my Gmail invites, it says I got 50 left...sheez they're giving them away like candy, hotcakes, and a $2 hooker in vegas. Why not just open it to the public? Does anyone really have 50 friends they can give it to? Except for the $2 hooker, she's damn popular.
