From News.comAltnet acquired rights to a 1999 patent that the company says covers the technique of identifying files on peer-to-peer networks using a “hash,” or digital fingerprint based on the contents of the file. The company plans to approach virtually all other peer-to-peer services to seek license rights.
“Altnet is very focused on the infringement of the TrueNames patent and we believe that many of today’s active peer-to-peer applications may be in direct violation,” Altnet CEO Kevin Bermeister said in a statement.
