Virgin to use DPI file share ‘monitor’ system

With entertainment cartel plans to use world governments as copyright enforcers in the background, Britain’s Virgin Media says it plans to try a DPI (deep packet inspection) system called CView. “CView is the first commercially available solution to provide a metric highlighting the volume and nature of Peer to Peer (P2P) file sharing activity on an ISP network,” says its owner, Detica. But it, “does not, and cannot, identify individual Internet users,” it states, boasting it’s, “The only accurate way of providing a ‘digital piracy’ index to both ISPs and CPs is to measure the actual P2P activity taking place within an ISP network.” Raw traffic data and identification information are “deleted in the closed system and cannot be accessed by a human operator,” it promises.
