Filesharing regulations too hard to implement

Thursday, May 1, 2008 7:16 PDT -07:00   News  


A broadband information website this week came out with the revelation that clamping down on illegal music downloads via filesharing might be too difficult for all involved.

Looking at Internet traffic, according to www.thinkbroadband.com, is tricky and means that enforcing any filesharing laws could be impossible.

Apparently, in order to actually crack down on filesharing, ISPs will need to actively inspect traffic, which will take enormous resources, time and money.

The real issue is the sharing of copyrighted material.

What this means is that the way that some government’s are proposing to deal with filesharing, by cutting of people’s Internet connections, would take massive investment on the part of ISPs.

Inspecting Internet traffic is really an ineffective way of dealing with the problem because it will be so hit and miss.

Surely the millions it will take to enforce these measures would be better spent elsewhere.
