A aggregation of scientists accept assuredly agitated to do a study, crisis the numbers, and appear to the aforementioned cessation as anybody abroad - blocking charlatan sites does annihilation to stop piracy.
Researchers from Boston Northeastern University agitated out a abstraction to actuate how able assorted anti-piracy strategies were, including blockades and censorship. By ecology bags of files, beyond assorted file-hosting services, the advisers tracked the availability of pirated media. They apparent that appraisal notices, which Big Media fires out willy-nilly, basically do annihilation to abate the availability of copyrighted material.
Also, their analysis pinpointed an absolute uptick in pirated media accessible on assorted file-hosting sites afterwards MegaUpload got shut down, which is absolutely what we've affected before. In fact, there are something like 10,000 altered domains hosting pirated content, advance over 5,000 abstracted IP addresses beyond the internet - you're never traveling to annihilate them all.
The advisers from Boston accordingly came to the cessation that approved techniques active by Big Media are basically worthless, and that the alone absolute way to barrier piracy is to chase the money. By endlessly charlatan sites from demography payments, admitting things like PayPal, you cut off their allotment and they eventually fold. Although the advisers achieve that actually, no amount what you do to try and stop piracy, technology outstretches legislation.
"Given our allegation that highlight the difficulties of abbreviation the accumulation of pirated content, it appears to be able to chase a commutual action of abbreviation the appeal for pirated content, e.g., by accouterment accepted offers that are added adorable to consumers than pirating content."
Common faculty one would think, but maybe Big Media will assuredly get the wake-up alarm it needs, now that there's some harder statistical analysis on the matter. Pah, who am I badinage - they'll apparently just yield abroad the actuality that nuking transaction processors is the way to go. [NEU SecLab via Torrent Freak]
