WATCH OUT P2P USERS: 

BayTSP, a provider of peer-to-peer file-sharing tracking services for the movie and music industries, announced on Monday the launch of a new system called FirstSource, which it says can automatically identify the first users to upload copyrighted or trademarked content to the eDonkey and BitTorrent file-sharing networks. The company said that several thousand available copies of movie files can typically be traced back to such an initial upload file. "Identifying and taking action against the first uploaders can greatly slow the distribution of illegally-obtained intellectual property and might make users think twice before doing it," said BayTSP CEO Mark Ishikawa.
