2008 saw the mainstream acceptance of streaming video,
demonstrated by the explosive popularity of authorized streaming
sites like Hulu and ABC.com. At the same time, P2P piracy still
accounted for the majority of traffic across the Internet.
The owners of one of the largest torrent indexing sites, TorrentSpy,
announced in March that they were shutting down in the face of
ongoing litigation with the Motion Picture Association of America,
which eventually won a $100 million award against the site. Owner
Justin Bunnell said he was shutting the site down to protect the
privacy of the people who used it.
Daniel Dove, an administrator of the torrent tracking site Elite Tor-
rents, was convicted in what the Justice Department called the “first
criminal conviction after jury trial for P2P copyright infringement.”
FBI, Customs and local law enforcement, participating in Operation
D-Elite, shut down the site and arrested administrators in 2005 as
part of a nationwide federal crackdown against the illegal dis-
tribution of copyrighted movies, software, games and music over
P2P networks. Two other Elite Torrents administrators pled guilty
and served five months in prison. Dove was sentenced later in the
year to 18 months.
The Federal Communications Commission determined that
Comcast had implemented technology across its network that
throttled or delayed packets being sent to customers using P2P
applications. The issue first appeared in 2007 when the Associated
Press reported that Comcast customers claimed that their network
connections were being throttled and the company denied that it
was doing it. The FCC decision was viewed as a victory for Net
Neutrality advocates.
The European bandwidth management and analysis firm ipoque
reported that the amount of bandwidth consumed by people using
file sharing applications increased in 2008 over the previous year,
though at a slower rate of growth. The company also reported that
BitTorrent and eDonkey were the largest contributors and that if
those protocols were shut down, the amount of P2P traffic across
the Internet would drop dramatically.
With the growing enforcement focus on P2P networks, file sharers
are shifting their attention to Cyberlockers and Usenet newsgroups.
GigaNews, the largest Usenet provider, reported at the end of the
year that upload traffic jumped to a sustained level averaging
well over 400 megabits per second, representing more than 4.3
terabytes of new user generated content and discussions daily.
By the end of the year BayTSP reported that 15 studios were using
the company’s Content Authentication Platform to identify where
their content is appearing on user generated content sites and col-
lecting business intelligence data.
Introduction

Counts
BitTorrent extended its dominance as the most popular file sharing pro-
tocol in 2008, according to data collected by BayTSP on the num ber of
infringements of client content found across P2P protocols and user-
generated content sites. BitTorrent surpassed eDonkey in 2007 and the
two protocols accounted for the vast majority of copyright in fringements
of BayTSP client content. IRC and FastTrack have become increasing-
ly obsolete sharing protocols during 2008, with both falling off the Top
10 list. Replacing these outdated protocols are user-generated content
sites like Youtube, Mega video and Dailymotion.

BitTorrent and eDonkey expanded their dominance as the pre ferred
P2P protocols for downloading pirated content, according to a threat
level research project tracking unauthorized downloads of BayTSP
client content. Second tier and older P2P distribution protocols, like
Ares, Gnutella and DirectConnect, continued to de cline in 2008 and
account for close to 10% of infringement found during the year.

High Threat Medium Threat Low Threat
Youtube continued to have the highest number of infringements of BayTSP
client content in 2008 and MySpace increased toward the end of the year.
Infringements found on Google Video dropped substantially by the end of the
year because they stopped hosting their own content. Stage6 disappeared
completely due to potential copyright litigation and significant costs in keeping
the site running.

Spain, Italy and France – three countries with lax copyright protection
laws – topped the list of countries identified as having the most infringe-
ments of BayTSP client content in 2008. The United States, which
topped the list in 2007, dropped to fourth place, largely as a result of
stepped up responsiveness by U.S.-based ISPs, accounting for nearly
a 35% drop in the number of identified infringements.

BayTSP collected extensive intelligence data for a popular
television asset. The purpose of this project was to develop new
tools and methodologies that would assist in providing clients with
a wealth of intelligence data related to user behavior and P2P
usage. In this illustra tion, Spain continues to be a hotspot, host-
ing a combined 172,841 unique users for both protocols over the
one week timeframe. As expected, BitTorrent median download
times were substantially lower - hours vs. days - in comparison
to download times on the eDonkey protocol. The much larger
number of users (and files) available on eDonkey over BitTor-
rent can be attributed to the nature of the protocol. Users on
eDonkey tend to “permanently” share their collection of files
whereas BitTorrent users tend to clear completed files from their
client application after a period of time.

Mirroring statistics collected on top infringing countries, the top
international ISPs with the greatest number of infringements of
BayTSP client content in 2008 were located in Spain, Italy and
France. Since 2006, ISPs in Spain, France, Italy and Germany
have alternated among the top ISPs with the most identified
infringements.
Digital Piracy Statistics for Top ISP’s
9 © BayTSP 2009 408-341-2300 www.BayTSP.com Online Trends & Insight Report
Domestic
International
MIT, University of Washington and Boston University topped the
list of domestic universities with the most infringements of BayTSP
client content in 2008. MIT was the top infringer in 2007, but overall
the number of infringements being found at domestic universities
has held relatively steady since BayTSP began collecting statistics
in 2006.
The University of Botswana, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in
Greece and National Technical University of Athens topped the list
of international universities identified as having
the most infringements of BayTSP client content
in 2008 – at rates nearly four times the amount
found among U.S. universities. The two univer-
sities in Greece also topped the list in 2007, but
have demonstrated about a 10% decrease in
identified infringements this year.

The Future
[ BayTSP has more than 15 customers using the company’s Content Authentication
Platform (CAP) to identify where their content is appearing on the Web, what is most popular
and how many people are watching it, and using this business intelligence to craft their
monetization strategies. ]
2008 saw the mainstream adoption of video streaming sites,
the increased pirating of live events and the first steps toward
monetization of authorized and unauthorized video distribution.
For 2009 we see these trends continuing and maturing.
Mainstream acceptance of streaming video
Major networks and cable TV shows began hitting their stride
in 2008, tapping into the demand for Web-based access to TV
content. The winning strategy appears to include a mix of full
length episodes posted online 24 hours to a week after ini-
tial airing, along with clips from shows that lend themselves to
shorter pieces - like the Daily Show and many programs from
Comedy Central.
The challenge facing broadcasters in 2009 will be balancing the
public’s desire to view shows online for free against the potential
loss of revenue from people who cancel their cable subscriptions
in favor of watching shows on their computers.
The issue becomes even more of a challenge when factoring in
appliances like AppleTV, Boxee and other hardware and services
that allow consumers to stream high quality video content from
their computer to their HD televisions.
BayTSP has more than 15 customers using the company’s
Content Authentication Platform (CAP) to identify where their
content is appearing on the Web, what is most popular and
how many people are watching it, and using this business
intelligence to craft their monetization strategies.
Increased monetization of online video
Websites like Hulu and ABC.com are showing record traffic
growth - in part helped by mainstream television advertising.
NBC’s advertisement for Hulu was one of the most popular ads
aired during this year’s Super Bowl.
Several popular user-generated content sites are under in-
creased pressure to secure content deals and a condition of
those deals typically includes a requirement that the content
distributor implement some degree of content filtering and copy-
right protection.
BayTSP CEO Mark Ishikawa is in negotiation with several high
profile UGC sites, discussing options for implementing CAP to
help them identify content being uploaded to their websites and
work with content owners to determine how users can interact
with it and how to generate higher levels of revenue.
Increased pirating of live and pay per view events
Unauthorized online broadcast of live and pay-per-view events
caught the public’s attention with the launch of Chinese sites
like Sopcast in 2006. With the advent of digital broadcasts and
more consumer friendly technologies like MyP2P and Ustream.
Individuals in the U.S. and abroad are rebroadcasting TV shows,
sports, live concerts and pay-per-view events and, in some
cases, making money from display ads appearing alongside the
stream.
In response, BayTSP has launched a video streaming monitor-
ing, enforcement and monetization service that identifies unau-
thorized video streams, takes action to have them shut down,
and drives traffic to authorized, revenue generating streams.
The service is already being used by sports leagues, networks
and pay-per-view promoters in the U.S. and overseas.
