TorrentSpy, ISOHunt to Begin Search Filtering

[Hairbautt]

Using technology from FileRights, TorrentSpy and ISOHunt have signed on to filter copyright infringing content.

TorrentSpy has already been ordered to start tracking users--a decision which is being appealed--and has taken an additional step to "show that it is making efforts to end illicit use of its site."

FileRights is a software company that "helps content owners automatically remove their [infinging] content from torrent sites" by using a hash-based system to identify copyrighted material.
