A new warning signal regarding the PC security appeared after Gregory Kopiloff from Seattle received 51 months of prison for committing identity theft through the LimeWire peer-to-peer networks.

Cisco Networks and Panorama Capital contributed to GridNetworks P2P start-up $9.5 million series A round of funding. GridNetworks  has taken a hybrid approach to delivering high-definition movies and TV shows over the Internet.

It uses both peer-to-peer technology, which leverages content distributed on users' computers all over the Internet as well as content delivery technology, which essentially caches and stores content in server farms throughout the Internet so it can be served up more quickly to geographically close clients.

Although it didn’t have many followers, the filtering over the Internet for discovering illegal file-swapping, is a way of stopping "digital piracy" by 70 percent, tells a study made by Wiggin UK media lawyers.

Limewire has released open source technology that can now block the sharing of all files without a copyright license (although the blocking technology is not currently turned on as default). The www.mp3rocket.com founders have agreed, that they will continue the fight for digital freedom and will not block their customer's files and will never filter files based on license detection.

The federal agencies will be obliged by a law, known as the Federal Agency Data Protection Act, to adopt a reliable strategy against the danger represented by the peer-to-peer file sharing, for the government computers and networks.
