Copyright holders have a new weapon at their disposal with word that Nexicon, a Malibu, CA-based anti-piracy services and technology company, has developed an automated copyright infringement identification and settlement system.

Set to debut perhaps as early as next week, the service will allow copyright holders to examine some 19.6 billion file transmissions from the likes of such P2P and file-sharing services as BitTorrent, eDonkey, Gnutella, Ares, KaZaA, and newsgroups each day.

Accused illegal file-sharers are allowed to settle the whole matter out of court without having to deal with pesky laws, lawyers, or judges. The settlement fee includes payment to the copyright holder as well as an administrative fee instantly payable by Visa, MasterCard, PayPal or electronic check.
Interestingly enough, reports say that the settlement fee will only be enough to cover the retail price of the file and nothing more in an attempt to turn illegal file-sharers into paying customers.


I wonder how long they thing this scheme will run before it hits a legal hurdle, its already illegal in the EU, at least they are not talking about zillions of dollars for a 20 cent peice of plastic, although I,m sure what with "admin" costs its all comes to about ....$3000 dollars as usual  :/
