The CopySense Appliance
Ownership of an HEOA compliance tool has never been more hassle-free. The CopySense appliance is easy to install, easy to manage and easy to use. Once installed, institutions realize an almost immediate reduction in illegal P2P traffic across their networks. Your purchase of the CopySense appliance gives you a cost-effective solution that will track, monitor and respond to unauthorized network traffic as your needs demand.
The CopySense Compliance Service
Based on a Software as a Service (SaaS) approach, the CopySense compliance service enables colleges and universities to fully comply with the HEOA without straining your budgets. For an affordable annual subscription fee, Audible Magic handles all installation and management of your compliance service on your network. Free upgrades over the life of your subscription protect your investment in compliance tools.
Highly Accurate Copyright Identification
Only CopySense products look at files from a “copyright” perspective. Audible Magic's patented technology automatically compares the “fingerprints” of transmitted P2P files against its extensive Global Registry database of more than seven million audio and video fingerprints.
This enables the CopySense appliance and CopySense compliance service to detect illegal file sharing of music and movies at the content level yielding a 99% accuracy rating with zero false positives. Legal P2P transmissions, which are often critical to research and education, remain totally unimpacted.
Protects Textbooks, Games & Software Too!
CopySense products and services help preserve the copyrights of small independent publishers, university bookstores and professor-authors as well.
The CopySense network device inherent in both products automatically detects the transfer of published material to protect against the unauthorized downloading of textbooks, games, software and other published materials.
“Since we began using the Audible Magic network monitoring software more than two years ago, the number of copyright abuse notices received from the RIAA and the MPAA has declined by more than 90%. The strategy also pays financial dividends for the university. ”
The Graduated Response System Helps Build Better Digital Citizens
All CopySense products include the integrated Graduated Response system, which provides a fully customizable, staged educational and judicial approach that supports your institution’s network use policies.
The patented technology automatically and immediately notifies a user of an infraction — leveraging the teachable moment. Students learn how to become better digital citizens with a more global respect for the copyright and intellectual property rights of others.
Selective Website Filtering Capability
An optional add-on to the CopySense network device enables administrators to block access to up to 40 specified categories of Internet sites. Of particular use for colleges and universities with defined Internet use guidelines, this robust URL filtering software enables you to put a wall between your users and objectionable Internet sites.
Automated Measurement Tools Meet HEOA Requirements
Integrated measurement and reporting capabilities provide you with customizable usage reports. The CopySense network device measures the number of users involved over time, the number of files being shared, and occurrences of recidivism. Reports are automatically generated to both satisfy HEOA requirements and your institution’s own need to measure network effectiveness.
