There's a fresh report featured on PaidContent that features a glowing new scheme to monetize existing P2P. The problem is that there's no technology available today that is actually up to the test.
ArsTechnica highlighted the story and correctly notes that there "are a number of reasons to be skeptical of the report", but there are a few points that we'd like to clarify. First, though, what is the buzz on this?
PaidContent:UK says that there is a new system about to be launched on Virgin Media that would pay copyright holders money for unauthorized content being downloaded. The system involves Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) The report goes as far as to say this:
Subscribers to the music package will even be allowed to share tunes amongst themselves because every transfer is anonymously tracked using Audible Magic, but proliferation to non-subscribers will be blocked.
