        The document appears to have moved or been removed from the site:
        http://gop.science.house.gov/hearings/full07/June%205/Jackson.pdf
                -> The system cannot find the path specified.

        I did find an 05 hearing :

Three detection and interdiction systems mentioned in the 2005 US House Testimony are :

        Audible Magic
        Red Lambda
        SafeMedia’s Clouseau

Others are also on the market now, some are inline, others work out of band.

Hey all,

Some people at the Security Conference mentioned a layer-7 appliance
that talks to RIAA and/or other organizations to compare signatures of
known released and pre-release copyrighted material and send RST to
stop the transfer.

This sounds like a very heavy and awkward solution.  Also, encrypted
P2P traffic is on the rise.

Does anyone know if this solution has been seriously looked at?
What is the future of "copyright-aware" P2P clients and/or protocols?

Thanks,
Han.
