NBC Universal scores patent to detect and target pirates
https://torrentfreak.com/nbc-universal-scores-patent-to-detect-and-target-pirates-160710/
NBC Universal has patented a new technology that can detect
high volume file-sharing swarms, including those using
BitTorrent. The system is set up to detect popular pirated
files and gathers data that can be used for anti-piracy
purposes, business intelligence, and to help ISPs relieve
strain on their networks.
