Copyright Protection in the Internet

ipoque, the leading European provider of Internet traffic management
solutions, published a new white paper, which shows how to deal with
copyright violations in the Internet. Based on ipoque's experience
with Internet traffic management, especially technical countermeasures
are discussed and possible solutions using commercial, technical,
legal, and regulatory control mechanisms are offered.

During the last years, file sharing of copyright-protected material,
particularly in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, has been a serious threat
to the established business models of the content industry. There have
been numerous discussions about possible countermeasures, some of
which have already been implemented. The white paper aims to provide
an as objective as possible assessment of the countermeasures for P2P.
