Sony finger-prints music to stymie P2P pirates By John Borland, Special to ZDNet Australia May 31, 2004 URL: http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/business/soa/Sony-finger-prints-music-to-stymie-P2P-pirates/0,139023166,139149127,00.htm
Audible Magic, a content-filtering company, announced in the US early Saturday a wide-ranging agreement with Sony Music, aimed in part at improving tools to combat peer-to-peer piracy. The record label will provide digital "fingerprints" to Audible Magic, which creates technology that identifies and blocks songs as they are transferred online through file-swapping applications or other tools. Sony will also license Audible Magic's song-identification software for use in its internal operations, and the two companies will work together on an anti-piracy program targeted at universities, they said.
