Warner Bros uses advanced robotics to track pirated content hosted on the network. One of the largest film studios was forced by the court to disclose data on its anti-piracy system, which was important as motivated public interest. From the available data we learned some interesting information on the operation of the robots themselves.
The emergence of the network of official data on anti-piracy systems Warner Bros aftermath ending settlement litigation on Hotfile file hosting service. Under the framework of film production companies paid $ 80 million. Initially, Hotfile founded his case to Warner Bros., in which the company was accused of abuse by searching the database files on your host. In time, however, withdrawn from the prosecution.
The case would have died a natural death, if not for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, whose representatives have asked the court for disclosure on how the Warner works. Label of course, opposed the proposal, explaining that only through secrecy antipiracy system is so effective. However, the court dismissed the complaint and ordered the disclosure of all data related to searches your network for unauthorized content.
The company reluctantly, but released on the web first set of documents. It turns out that the collection of information is a specially designed software that is described in the text as robots. Interestingly, these programs are so programmed to mimic human behavior, so finding specific content to be very simple. The script searches about 200 selected sites for keywords and on this basis defines what type of materials has to deal with.
This method is not very precise, because the found files are in no way verified. It may therefore be that the robot finds a material named as one of the films released by Warner Bros., report it, and this really will not have anything to do with him. Therefore, in section antypirackim company also people are employed, namely seven people. Information about their tasks have been classified by the label.
Many questions still remain unanswered. It is not known example. Why software developed by the company has been focused on monitoring the application users JDownloader. We do not know the numbers of false positives and the process of verifying the authenticity of entries. It is possible that successive waves of publication of secret documents tell us about it a bit more.
