It looks once again like the movie industry is attempting to fight piracy now just like the music industry has been working to accomplish for years. I recently found an article in the news about file sharing and peer-to-peer networks at colleges.
Universities are a very popular place for these illegal file sharing activities, and they are the new target to single out for putting an end to piracy. There is a new bill that would make colleges have a plan to fight such illegal activities if it gets passed.
I really don't think there will be much progress made to stop piracy. It has grown out of control, and I don't see it coming to an end any time soon. I know that my college, The University of South Florida in Tampa has taken action by promoting the Ruckus software. I think this software allows students to download music and movies, but it is in a format that isn't compatible with ipods and other mp3 players. I don't think this has had much success though, but it may catch on after a while.
