Stichting Brein will tackle more illegal uploaders

The copyright watchdog entertainmenindustrie, Stichting Brein, will locate to greater scale uploaders of illegal content.

These are people who violate copyright laws by distributing example, pirated movies and music.

"These are people who act like real source," says director Tim Kuik of Stichting Brein. "We'll look at how often someone uploads a period of twelve weeks."

Stichting Brein took illegal distributors of movies and music now already, but Brein has now developed a system that allows uploaders can be detected automatically.

The system, which next year the first uploaders must be addressed, focusing on people who upload large numbers of files or files spread first. Downloaders are not addressed, all gave Brein earlier that it is being considered.

IP addresses

How the system works, it is not exactly clear, but probably the tool automatically searches for the IP addresses of uploaders through the so-called BitTorrent exchange protocol. IP addresses are freely accessible in bittorrent.

Using that IP address, the addresses of uploaders may be requested from the provider, and Stichting Brein can make a settlement proposal. They will therefore not agree, following a lawsuit. Incidentally, whether providers collaborate easily. "Brain will first have to have a court order," said spokesman Gradus Vos of Ziggo.

The foundation has submitted to the Data Protection ee n application for the system. That should, as personal data. CBP has indicated likely will approve the request.
