**[AudioLock](http://www.audiolock.net/?ref=hypebot.com)**, an online proprietary watermarking service, is offering **protection for digital and physical promos** by **automatically tracking** illegal downloads. The system continually **searches** sharing sites and the internet for potential **copyright infringements**. If one is detected it can identify the individual the copy was originally sent to thus **identifying the pirate**. 

For some the service could be a **cost effective solution**, helping to **make prevention** possible. For others, this could be a great way to track the songs they give away. It also allows users to send **take down** notices. The jury is out on whether this service is forward thinking or not. **What do you think?**
