MPAA targets first posters

Slyck posts a story on the RIAA and MPAA using new software, “FirstSource”, to identify “original seeds”, the first or handful of first file sharers to post the complete copy of a movie or software using BitTorrent.

It seems like an improvement over suing the ISP, which has almost no control over content and results in the ISP closing down or preventing all file sharing, even that of legitimate files.

Though it probably won’t take long for someone to find a way around it.
