Role As Internet Detectives
Although much of Irdeto Intelligence's exact methodology is currently unknown, it can be ascertained from press releases and news sources that the company makes extensive use of automated webcrawler technology and databases of digital fingerprinting. Irdeto Intelligence's digital fingerprinting technology has been used in efforts to curb both Internet piracy and child pornography.
Irdeto Intelligence issues several million DMCA takedown notices per year to Internet users and providers suspected of hosting or distributing copyrighted material. Questions about the covert methods employed by Irdeto Intelligence in the identification of copyrighted works and DMCA takedown process have generated hostility toward the company from the Internet file sharing community.
A few examples of Irdeto Intelligence DMCA takedown notices to alleged copyright infringers can be found at Chilling Effects, the Stanford and Harvard Law project to document the DMCA's impact on the Internet.

Famous quotes containing the words role as and/or role:
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
“In today’s world parents find themselves at the mercy of a society which imposes pressures and priorities that allow neither time nor place for meaningful activities and relations between children and adults, which downgrade the role of parents and the functions of parenthood, and which prevent the parent from doing things he wants to do as a guide, friend, and companion to his children.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
