The recent deprecation of Microsoft’s Digital Rights Management (DRM) software spurred SafeMedia to create technology that eliminates Internet P2P piracy of copyrighted digital content while simultaneously protecting the Windows user environment. The result is Windows® + Transport Control®. It is the first and only technology solution that effectively and efficiently prevents all illegal P2P file acceptance by the host.

Windows® + Transport Control® destroys the raison d’etre of illegal file sharing and provides a solution for the conflicts surrounding Internet piracy.

• Losses currently experienced by the digital media industry and its copyright owners will be halted.
  
  
• Billions of dollars of lost value to copyright owners will be restored.
  
  
• The pressure from the heavy forces from the entertainment industry, like the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) and MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) will be relieved.
  
  
• Lawmakers will be empowered to stiffen copyright law violation penalties.
  
  
• The demand and success for legal content and client/server services will be increased.

Legal content sites have been deployed as an alternative way to access copyrighted digital files without infringing on digital copyright laws. Legal traffic is usually performed on a client/server model, like iTunes or Napster, which is different than P2P network models. It is important to note that Windows® + Transport Control® does not interfere with the operation and/or functionality of these legal services. Although Windows® + Transport Control® captures and examines all illegal packets within a system, it does not disrupt functionality of any legal traffic such as legal torrents used in open source and scientific applications.

Windows® + Transport Control® is directly imbedded in Windows operating systems (Windows Vista, X64, XP) and is intended to be distributed as part of these operating systems. It is an integral part of Windows kernel, provides superior protection to the Windows user environment, and provides for complete eradication of all illegal P2P network traffic on the local host it is installed on.

Windows® + Transport Control® is user friendly, working behind the scene, empowering legal compliance, protecting the user from the threat of criminal and civil prosecution, preventing the transmission of P2P borne infection, and respecting the rights of intellectual property owners.

The essential elements that enable Windows® + Transport Control® to completely eliminate illegal P2P and protect the user environment are the fingerprint markers and DNA. Windows® + Transport Control® also provides for secure operation and self-defense as part of Windows kernel. System performance and operation are improved as a result of SafeMedia’s technology. Windows® + Transport Control® has no noticeable latency in system performance and requires minimal usage of kernel memory.

Windows® + Transport Control’s® design is unique and powerful. It is the only product ported directly into an operating system that immediately enforces the rule of the law in protecting copyrighted digital files without invading users’ privacy. Currently, Windows® + Transport Control® captures and eradicates 250 different P2P protocols, 700 P2P clients, and over 3000 websites and web elements, including those for magnets and torrents.
