Considering what may be in store for higher ed on the copyright front, I am curious if anyone has asked their General Counsel's office (and is willing to share on or off list) for an opinion on the use of Audible Magic or an IPS in the context of the DMCA's Safe Harbor provision. While an IPS could potentially manage P2P traffic without knowing anything about the content, Audible Magic claims to be able to accurately identify content. Specific knowledge of content would seem to remove a provider's ability to take advantage of the Safe Harbor provision. I've not read anything that indicates the provision remains intact if the provider uses some method which can identify content so I'm wondering how others have addressed this. -Ray Greg Schaffer wrote:
Greetings, Sorry, I posted without a subject originally. I am looking for a comprehensive list of P2P illegal copyright share control solutions available, and preferably reviews of each. Audible Magic appears to be the most complete solution for a higher ed environment but there may be another (or more) available that, from a higher ed perspective, do an even better job. I'd also be interested in hearing what solution you chose to implement (or are considering) and why. I will post a summary.
