Copyright Control Services To Assist In Global Effort In Removing 
Illegal Mp3 Music Files From The Internet.  

LONDON, Nov 18, 1999 (INTERNET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Copyright Control 
Services (CCS) announced today that it is now providing tracking, 
tracing and technical services to assist the International Federation 
of the Phonographic Industry's (IFPI) world-wide effort in removing 
illegal MP3 music files from the Internet.  

CCS's action will be supporting the international recording industry 
in its coordinated global crackdown on Internet pirates that was 
announced jointly on 28 October 1999 by recording trade associations 
including the RIAA, BPI and IFPI.  

CCS employs a team of highly skilled tracking and tracing operatives, 
who monitor the Internet and can find infringing files on a variety 
of different Internet sites (http, ftp, hotline, newsgroups and 
Internet Relay Chat). Using CCS-developed techniques and proprietary 
software, CCS determines where the Internet posting is coming from 
and gathers information to help identity the pirate. In addition, 
preserves evidence for reference in the event of a lawsuit.
