The rise and fall of Napster in the late 90s brought file sharing over the Internet, and peer-to-peer technology, to the attention of the world. ... Record companies are looking to software companies to beat these file sharing organizations at their own game, creating software that would elude the copyright laws but contrary to downloading copied files, they seek to eliminate sharing.
One reason the growth of peer-to-peer file sharing has happened is possibly for one reason alone, the constant expansion of the capabilities of the ordinary PC computer. ... Napster focused its attention on sharing music over the Internet, not publicly, but in end-to-end connections between two personal computers. ... This technology allows content producers to specify how many times a consumer can copy a given file. ... CPRM works by creating a unique key for every piece of data downloaded on a users hard drive and attaching this key to the end of the file. ... Once the album makes its way to the downloading machine the key is then decrypted and the key is now a part of the file. ... Until every company uses this technology for their new products there will be no way to limit the number of downloads of a file in peer-to-peer file sharing.
