In order to find movies, games and music, many P2P users rely on the search facility built into many P2P clients. The Hawkeye system tries to hamper this by flooding networks with false information and Macrovision claims that it also has the ability to halt downloads or provide files that contain nothing but random noise or silence.

Lets be honest here, this system hasnt worked on WinMX very well and is easily defeated using common sense techniques, trying to sell it for use against Kazzaa etc Shows how desperate they are for cash to keep the system rolling , we can just wait them out  :lol:  :P  :lol:
