BAY TSP

2008 saw the mainstream acceptance of streaming video,

demonstrated by the explosive popularity of authorized streaming

sites like Hulu and ABC.com. At the same time, P2P piracy still

accounted for the majority of traffic across the Internet.

The owners of one of the largest torrent indexing sites, TorrentSpy,

announced in March that they were shutting down in the face of

ongoing litigation with the Motion Picture Association of America,

which eventually won a $100 million award against the site. Owner

Justin Bunnell said he was shutting the site down to protect the

privacy of the people who used it.

Daniel Dove, an administrator of the torrent tracking site Elite Tor-

rents, was convicted in what the Justice Department called the “first

criminal conviction after jury trial for P2P copyright infringement.”

FBI, Customs and local law enforcement, participating in Operation

D-Elite, shut down the site and arrested administrators in 2005 as

part of a nationwide federal crackdown against the illegal dis-

tribution of copyrighted movies, software, games and music over

P2P networks. Two other Elite Torrents administrators pled guilty

and served five months in prison. Dove was sentenced later in the

year to 18 months.

The Federal Communications Commission determined that

Comcast had implemented technology across its network that

throttled or delayed packets being sent to customers using P2P

applications. The issue first appeared in 2007 when the Associated

Press reported that Comcast customers claimed that their network

connections were being throttled and the company denied that it

was doing it. The FCC decision was viewed as a victory for Net

Neutrality advocates.

The European bandwidth management and analysis firm ipoque

reported that the amount of bandwidth consumed by people using

file sharing applications increased in 2008 over the previous year,

though at a slower rate of growth. The company also reported that

BitTorrent and eDonkey were the largest contributors and that if

those protocols were shut down, the amount of P2P traffic across

the Internet would drop dramatically.

With the growing enforcement focus on P2P networks, file sharers

are shifting their attention to Cyberlockers and Usenet newsgroups.

GigaNews, the largest Usenet provider, reported at the end of the

year that upload traffic jumped to a sustained level averaging

well over 400 megabits per second, representing more than 4.3

terabytes of new user generated content and discussions daily.

By the end of the year BayTSP reported that 15 studios were using

the company’s Content Authentication Platform to identify where

their content is appearing on user generated content sites and col-

lecting business intelligence data.

Counts

BitTorrent extended its dominance as the most popular file sharing pro-

tocol in 2008, according to data collected by BayTSP on the num ber of

infringements of client content found across P2P protocols and user-

generated content sites. BitTorrent surpassed eDonkey in 2007 and the

two protocols accounted for the vast majority of copyright in fringements

of BayTSP client content. IRC and FastTrack have become increasing-

ly obsolete sharing protocols during 2008, with both falling off the Top

10 list. Replacing these outdated protocols are user-generated content

sites like Youtube, Mega video and Dailymotion.

BitTorrent and eDonkey expanded their dominance as the pre ferred

P2P protocols for downloading pirated content, according to a threat

level research project tracking unauthorized downloads of BayTSP

client content. Second tier and older P2P distribution protocols, like

Ares, Gnutella and DirectConnect, continued to de cline in 2008 and

account for close to 10% of infringement found during the year.

High Threat Medium Threat Low Threat

Youtube continued to have the highest number of infringements of BayTSP

client content in 2008 and MySpace increased toward the end of the year.

Infringements found on Google Video dropped substantially by the end of the

year because they stopped hosting their own content. Stage6 disappeared

completely due to potential copyright litigation and significant costs in keeping

the site running.

Spain, Italy and France – three countries with lax copyright protection

laws – topped the list of countries identified as having the most infringe-

ments of BayTSP client content in 2008. The United States, which

topped the list in 2007, dropped to fourth place, largely as a result of

stepped up responsiveness by U.S.-based ISPs, accounting for nearly

a 35% drop in the number of identified infringements.

BayTSP collected extensive intelligence data for a popular

television asset. The purpose of this project was to develop new

tools and methodologies that would assist in providing clients with

a wealth of intelligence data related to user behavior and P2P

usage. In this illustra tion, Spain continues to be a hotspot, host-

ing a combined 172,841 unique users for both protocols over the

one week timeframe. As expected, BitTorrent median download

times were substantially lower - hours vs. days - in comparison

to download times on the eDonkey protocol. The much larger

number of users (and files) available on eDonkey over BitTor-

rent can be attributed to the nature of the protocol. Users on

eDonkey tend to “permanently” share their collection of files

whereas BitTorrent users tend to clear completed files from their

client application after a period of time.

Mirroring statistics collected on top infringing countries, the top

international ISPs with the greatest number of infringements of

BayTSP client content in 2008 were located in Spain, Italy and

France. Since 2006, ISPs in Spain, France, Italy and Germany

have alternated among the top ISPs with the most identified

infringements.

Digital Piracy Statistics for Top ISP’s


Domestic

International

MIT, University of Washington and Boston University topped the

list of domestic universities with the most infringements of BayTSP

client content in 2008. MIT was the top infringer in 2007, but overall

the number of infringements being found at domestic universities

has held relatively steady since BayTSP began collecting statistics

in 2006.

The University of Botswana, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in

Greece and National Technical University of Athens topped the list

of international universities identified as having

the most infringements of BayTSP client content

in 2008 – at rates nearly four times the amount

found among U.S. universities. The two univer-

sities in Greece also topped the list in 2007, but

have demonstrated about a 10% decrease in

identified infringements this year.

takedown notices when infringing

content is found on their sites.

While Veoh and DailyMotion respond

to takedown notices quicker, the

total number of videos that Veoh re-

other UGC sites. Youtube and Tudou,

on the other hand, have the highest

takedown rates, but their response

time is average compared to sites like

Veoh.

56.com ranks average in compliance

The Future

[ BayTSP has more than 15 customers using the company’s Content Authentication

Platform (CAP) to identify where their content is appearing on the Web, what is most popular

and how many people are watching it, and using this business intelligence to craft their

monetization strategies. ]

2008 saw the mainstream adoption of video streaming sites,

the increased pirating of live events and the first steps toward

monetization of authorized and unauthorized video distribution.

For 2009 we see these trends continuing and maturing.

Mainstream acceptance of streaming video

Major networks and cable TV shows began hitting their stride

in 2008, tapping into the demand for Web-based access to TV

content. The winning strategy appears to include a mix of full

length episodes posted online 24 hours to a week after ini-

tial airing, along with clips from shows that lend themselves to

shorter pieces - like the Daily Show and many programs from

Comedy Central.

The challenge facing broadcasters in 2009 will be balancing the

public’s desire to view shows online for free against the potential

loss of revenue from people who cancel their cable subscriptions

in favor of watching shows on their computers.

The issue becomes even more of a challenge when factoring in

appliances like AppleTV, Boxee and other hardware and services

that allow consumers to stream high quality video content from

their computer to their HD televisions.

BayTSP has more than 15 customers using the company’s

Content Authentication Platform (CAP) to identify where their

content is appearing on the Web, what is most popular and

how many people are watching it, and using this business

intelligence to craft their monetization strategies.

Increased monetization of online video

Websites like Hulu and ABC.com are showing record traffic

growth - in part helped by mainstream television advertising.

NBC’s advertisement for Hulu was one of the most popular ads

aired during this year’s Super Bowl.

Several popular user-generated content sites are under in-

creased pressure to secure content deals and a condition of

those deals typically includes a requirement that the content

distributor implement some degree of content filtering and copy-

right protection.

BayTSP CEO Mark Ishikawa is in negotiation with several high

profile UGC sites, discussing options for implementing CAP to

help them identify content being uploaded to their websites and

work with content owners to determine how users can interact

with it and how to generate higher levels of revenue.

Increased pirating of live and pay per view events

Unauthorized online broadcast of live and pay-per-view events

caught the public’s attention with the launch of Chinese sites

like Sopcast in 2006. With the advent of digital broadcasts and

more consumer friendly technologies like MyP2P and Ustream.

Individuals in the U.S. and abroad are rebroadcasting TV shows,

sports, live concerts and pay-per-view events and, in some

cases, making money from display ads appearing alongside the

stream.

In response, BayTSP has launched a video streaming monitor-

ing, enforcement and monetization service that identifies unau-

thorized video streams, takes action to have them shut down,

and drives traffic to authorized, revenue generating streams.

The service is already being used by sports leagues, networks

and pay-per-view promoters in the U.S. and overseas.
