Re: P2P control solutions

[Ray Strubinger <ray.strubinger () OIT GATECH EDU>]

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.
