Mininova tests copyright filtering service »
Posted By MrcPram2694 6 months ago in NewsFiled under: Internet. , P2P. Things in the P2P world continue to change in the wake of the Pirate Bay trial. Today, Mininova announced a new feature. designed to make the removal of copyright-infringing works easier for users of their content distribution service. Mininova's content checker utilizes a third-party recognition system, and the crew hopes that it will allow artists and producers to better control their own content. Will it make a difference? Eventually, perhaps. The screenshot above illustrates pretty clearly that this 1) isn't going to impact all Mininova's torrents and 2) won't change things instantly. As you would expect, user response to the announcement has been largely negative. Apart from the "way to make your site suck" comments, one user posted "Bad move. By being active in copyright control you're opening yourselves up for even more lawsuits, just like YouTube." The bottom line? It's a tough gig running a torrent site today, and it's only going to get tougher.
