A University of Tulsa (UT) research team has patented software designed to prevent illegal downloading of music over the Internet. The new software sends illegal downloaders on a wild goose chase in a P2P pond full of cyber-quacking decoys.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Patent Office awarded patent number 6,732,180 to UT computer science professor John Hale and doctoral student Gavin Manes for software that systematically injects decoys into P2P file-sharing networks, such as Gnutella, BitTorrent and Kazaa.

The software combats such copyright infringement by "essentially flooding the networks with alternative content that appears authentic," said UT spokesperson Rolf Olsen.

Maybe they should patent the term "dickhead" too, 'cause that's what I think of them and all other people who purposely mislabel files on P2P

Kinda weird, coz here it's legal to download the music. So they would stop legal downloads as well...

I dont think that is an efficient method against dc++ however - their IP's will just get banned from the hub once they are discovered. and because there isnt any law against hosting a list of their IP's on somewhere... there would surely became one.

I wonder how long it will take for spammers to get ahold of it and fill P2P with spam too. You try to download a song and get a freakin viagra ad instead.

I think they would take that as a compliment.

I couldn't care less about Kazaa (a lot of music there is aleady just a bunch of fake crap anyways). I'm not exactly sure how they plan to do such a thing to Bit Torrent... Even so, I think they are just wasting their time with another "weapon" against piracy that is just going to backfire on them in some way or another.

Just more of the same fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD).
