According to a recent story in E-Commerce News, anti-P2P “interdiction” firm Overpeer are gaining traction and increasing the amount of fake files they spread.
Overpeer CEO Marc Morgenstern said that his company’s service works in two ways. “We intervene on behalf of our clients to protect their content from piracy, and in certain cases we may help them build relationships with P2P users.”
Morgenstern said Overpeer has a high volume of activity at this point, involving not only music, but also other content sites. “We are protecting thousands and thousands of titles of multiple content types for various clients,” he noted.
The company uses several techniques to stop acts of piracy. “We have an extensive network of servers that makes it difficult to find illegal content on various networks,” Morgenstern noted.
[NOTE: "Building relationships," eh? The same kind of relationship one has with pranksters who dump bags of cr@p on your doorstep.]
