New Report Tracks Developments in the Ever Evolving Area of Content Exchange and Piracy and Assesses Current Anti-Piracy Measures

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c84839) has announced the
addition of Content Exchange and Piracy - New Practices, New Tools to
their offering.

Content exchange online is evolving profoundly. P2P solutions are
constantly being perfected. New platforms, such as news groups, stock
& share platforms and video sharing sites, are developing at a rapid
pace and private solutions, such as closed communities and the use of
instant messaging, are now becoming more available.

The piracy ecosystem is complex: it combines specialists in the
acquisition and distribution of content; legal technologies which are
distorted for illegal exchange; and an extensive community dynamic.

All the indicators seem to imply that the level of illegal
exchange continues to grow, in spite of being more complex to measure.
However, growth is observed in the different levers for countering
piracy: clarification of legal status, evolving "competitive" pay
offerings, and especially fingerprinting solutions that make Digital
Rights Management more credible. Some illegal sites are consequently
opting to develop legal solutions.

This report presents the added-value chain of content exchange on
the Internet, technical innovations and key players based on a number
of case studies. It offers components for measuring piracy and sets
out the main tools for countering illegal exchange. It concludes by
describing the challenges facing the content and telecommunications
