The founders of TorrentSpy are struggling with piracy using filters.

TorrentSpy, a torrent file search engine accused by Hollywood of assisting pirates, is going to remove the links in the output of the results to the “left” content using a new filtering system.

FileRights is an automated system created by the founders of TorrentSpy. The technology uses the hash value to automatically remove links to pirated content from a search engine.

This development was created because of the numerous accusations received from major film studios. At the beginning of this month, the court ruled that TorrentSpy should monitor user activity. The company filed an appeal, but in case of loss, it will have to close access to a search engine in the United States in order not to provide information about its users.

In an interview, TorrentSpy attorney Ira Rothken acknowledged that using hash tags to identify copyrighted content is not reliable. If the file is modified, the system will not be able to recognize it.

FileRights works like most video filters. Copyright holders provide information about their movies or their TV show records, after which the system detects all files containing illegal copies. Links to these files are automatically deleted.
Any copyright owner, website, or search engine is invited to a free subscription to the service - the company said in a statement. Rotken said that IsoHunt, a competitor to TorrentSpy, agreed to use a filtering system.
