Re: It is impossible..... said by maartena:judge ordered to filter out "pirated content", but allow legal traffic using the same protocol. And that is simply impossible. Since in effect "everything" is copyrighted there is no way for a third party to: 1) unambiguously identify the specific work, 2) verify with copyright owner what rights they have chosen to reserve to themselves, and 3) verify if there are additional restrictions in force due to contractual obligations between seller and buyer (shrink wrapped software licenses come to mind).
If content industry spent half as much time trying to figure out how to exploit low cost distribution created by the Internet as they do trying to roll back technology their bottom line would be much improved.
