Neutralizer file exchange is ready to embark
The Legal Committee of the House of Representatives of the US Congress last week considered in detail the possibility of compulsory implementation of the cGRID software package in colleges and universities in the country, which is designed to limit, and ideally completely eliminate, the illegal file sharing in schools.
The situation with the use of P2P networks, LAN, closed FTP-servers and other difficult to control data transmission channels for the exchange of pirated content among the population of student dormitories, has long been a hot topic in the press and in local state legislatures. The constant claims of the RIAA and MPAA against pupils, casting a shadow on their alma mater, became a real curse for university management.
Until now, the most progressive universities are struggling with lovers of freebies in their ranks with their own means. Almost every campus has a network monitor that monitors suspicious activity of users and is alarming in apparently criminal cases. However, enterprising youth has long learned to bypass filters in dozens of ways.

It seemed that it would be possible to defeat the abuse of copyright law only by imposing a state of emergency and total surveillance of the activities of each user. However, the appearance on the Red Lambda arena promises to change everything. Its development, a completely cGRID monstrous package with a declared implementation cost of about $ 1 million (and $ 250 thousand a year to own), has already managed to successfully prove itself in the networks of the University of Florida, the company's homeland.
cGRID constantly monitors the flow of information at the packet level and, using a scheme not revealed by the creators, isolates illegally transferred files from them. To combat this, the software package offers detailed logs, in which it is recorded who, what, where and how it was pumped, as well, and this is its highlight, the ability to automatically warn users in real time or disconnect them altogether from the network.
Statistics cGRID testing in the hostel UV says that only 10% of users again went to illegal copying after the first warning, and only 10% of them - after the second. It is quite clear that the Association of right holders fell in love with the smart system at a glance and now do not cease the pressure on the Senate and Congress, demanding to legally oblige the administration of educational institutions to purchase it for themselves.
However, this initiative was just as expectedly met with a wave of protests from both human rights defenders and pragmatic deans and rectors of small universities who do not want to spend such impressive funds for such a rather dubious goal.
What decision will make the Committee will be known later. But it is absolutely clear that this story will not end there.
