Software That Flagged HBO.com For Piracy Will Power U.S. 'Six Strikes' System 292

It's a funny story, until you realize that MarkMonitor is the same software that will power the U.S. Copyright Alerts System (a.k.a. "Six Strikes"), due to be rolled out by the five largest U.S. ISPs sometime in the next month."
