Using these hash functions

\Delta Write a copyright crawler as follows:

* Crawler has DB of hashes of all copyrighted content.

* Crawler constantly scans all web sites, KaZaA network, Napster, etc.

* For every music file found, compute hash of music file and compare to DB.

* If match is found, call the lawyers. \Delta Problems:

He's saying that basically all they have to do is run a little program to catch possibly millions of people sharing copyrighted files.

interesting stuff- a stanford project to improve web crawlers- they probably work for one of the anti p2p groups now (they use all kinds of crawlers/bots)

I&#39;d guess it just runs a general search on Kazaa, so they might pick up a couple of your files, but they still wouldn&#39;t be able to get your full list, so the odds of them suing you for one or 2 when they have thousands of user with thousands of files is small. :P

I&#39;m not worried anyway I don&#39;t share music on kazaa but I share everything else.

Kazaa didn&#39;t come round til after Napster died tho, right? They might be talking about the new version, but then they might just be assuming it&#39;ll work there.

I&#39;ve still got an old lifestyle magazine from June 2001, and it says in there about KMD "unfortunately, the music selection was rather sparse, despite a large number of users." It was an article which has reviews of several p2p applications. June 2001 was also roughly the time when Napster was shut down. So lots of people were looking for alternatives.

So I think it only became really popular after 2 years ago.
