Early today a software developer called Dominic contacted TorrentFreak with a very unusual story. Dominic says he has created an anti-piracy system which he believes has the potential to wipe out a significant amount of online piracy.

Talking figures, Dominic believes his "patent-pending anti-piracy platform" could "eliminate up to 90% of music, film, TV, software and video game piracy" online. That's a huge claim, even given the use of the all-important words "up to", although hardly one not to have been made before.

No doubt excited by his product, Dominic says he has presented his platform to the world's leading media companies. In the movie sector they include the MPAA, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, AFACT and Village Roadshow. In music Dominic told us he has spoken to IFPI and Australia's MIPI.

For some reason none of them were interested in the platform. This rejection seems to have prompted a radical shift in Dominic's strategy.

Dominic went on to explain to us that he has ad crawlers in 4 continents which are able to monitor specific sites to report on any controversial ad placements. He used this system to monitor advertising on "pirate sites" and claims that from his analysis he discovered that the bulk of the ads came from companies owned by InterActiveCorp. IAC is run by Barry Diller, the ex CEO of both Fox and Paramount films.

"Other prominent advertisers include Fox Sports and Fox Mobile, both owned by NewsCorp, who regularly sue end-users and websites for piracy," says Dominic, while adding that he also traced US Government departments – smallstep.gov and mypyramid.gov.

Dominic is visibly annoyed that these companies are "funding piracy" so has decided to protest until something is done about it.

Turning somewhat from gamekeeper to poacher, Dominic has transformed his anti-piracy platform into a music search engine and download site. It seems to work pretty well and there's even a list of top downloaded songs at the bottom of the page along with cover artwork.

"Each and every time a search is run or download initiated our servers locate a match on the web and serve it back," Dominic explains. "Hence results could change every time you ran a search or downloaded a file. Even the popular results on the home page are not indexed on our servers, we go out and obtain this data EVERY single time our home page is loaded."

Dominic wouldn't reveal where his site is pulling music from but told TorrentFreak: "My platform has the capability to index, crawl, monitor and analyse any page/site it comes across," and further claims that "this is the fastest and easiest way to download any song you can think of, on the web."

However, it appears that Dominic is prepared to take down his MP3 free-for-all if certain conditions are met. "When these organizations decide to stop advertising on pirated sites and stop funding piracy, and take responsibility for the problem, I have a platform that has the ability to counter almost all forms of piracy today, and will be happy to take this site down."

"I believe that the work of artists of all industries and classifications should not be ripped off without dues paid to the creators. However, I believe the monopolies behind these artists are themselves aiding the problem, and as such changes are needed. I would love a harmony between consumers and content produces, which is absolutely possible."
