In the age where all forms of media can be streamed or downloaded off the internet, companies are unsurprisingly constantly
fighting against piracy in the background. Among them is Sony, which has to combat piracy on three fronts – music, movies and video games. In its effort to do so, the company has patented an anti-piracy tech which looks to be directly targeted at media players, which include set-top boxes and smart TVs.
As TorrentFreak reports, the Sony patent is titled “Anti-Piracy Control Based on Blacklisting Function”. It describes a “monitor application” with “system privileges to examine the code and execution of the third-party application installed on electronic devices”. Said application contains a blacklist which is used to compare not only against third-party apps’ code, but also network sources that they access.
