SafeMedia Corporation has developed a unique Internet Piracy Prevention (IPP) solution that utilizes a new paradigm in system architecture: Clouseau.

Clouseau is a network appliance that eradicates illegal P2P file transfers making it impossible to send or receive any illegal P2P transmission – while permitting the safe passage of legal P2P. Utilizing state-of-the-art hardware and breakthrough core technologies such as adaptive network pattern analysis and forensic pattern recognition, Clouseau examines each and every packet on a subnet. If Clouseau detects any illegal P2P identifiers, it destroys the packet and stops the transmission. The core technologies are designed to operate at the fastest possible speeds (wire-speed) to assure virtually no delays in the network and they are able to examine packets that are heavily encrypted without comprising the privacy of network users.

Clouseau achieves what has never been achievable before-P2P piracy extinction. Clouseau exterminates all P2P packets and insures that the P2P conduit is forever sealed shut. And while that achievement alone proves that Clouseau is the only real IPP solution, it is only the beginning.

Security and Reliability
Clouseau can never be compromised or attacked. It has no Internet address and is invisible to users. It is even self-healing. Should a file system in Clouseau become corrupted or experience a diminished capacity, or should the power fail, Clouseau will automatically restore corrupted files and reboot to ensure continuity of the system and network security and functionality. It is completely self-contained, and requires no additional administrative or technical support.

Privacy
The technology completely shields user anonymity. User ID’s are never captured or recorded. Clouseau simply identifies the illegal packets of P2P traffic being transmitted over the network and destroys them. It is not capable of recording any information regarding the user who is transmitting the file. No other technology employs a similar level of privacy protection.

Cost-effective
Each Clouseau Internet appliance sells for between $650 and $4500 depending on the network bandwidth requirements. A university with 10 subnets would spend $6500 to end all P2P piracy. In addition, they would recover lost bandwidth associated with illegal downloads. Clouseau is available in several different performance levels to accommodate the widest variety of customer needs.

The Benefits of Clouseau
Clouseau’s benefits are immediate and significant. Clouseau insures that the network and every one of its users is 24/7/365 compliant with anti-piracy and copyright protection laws. It will allow network administrators to regain bandwidth lost to illegal P2P; it will reduce the risk of infection and protect digital assets.

For the first time, policy makers have a technologically-sound solution to enforce the law. Businesses, universities, organizations and Internet users will be able to operate without the fear of expensive and hostile legal action; and the Internet can expand as a safe, viable distribution channel for music, motion pictures and software.

Clouseau is a safe and simple way for networks users to comply with copyright laws and protect themselves and their network from the risks of illegal file-sharing such as legal disputes, network destruction and failure, free-riding bandwidth, increase of network costs, and network security breaches.

However evaluated, whether by performance, reliability, scalability, quality of service, security, or ROI, Clouseau is the only Internet Piracy Prevention technology.
