Bringing Audible Magic inside your network would be like letting the wolf into the sheep pen . . . and handing him a 
knife and fork.

We do not block P2P.  I recently saw a presentation on Audible Magic's
CopySense Appliance.  Apparently, it can separate legitimate P2P (Linux
distros, etc) from the DRM P2P.

I'm curious if anyone out there is using it and what your thoughts were
on the product (or if there are any competitors).

Thanks,
Brian
