NEW YORK (AFP) - Major recording companies which have thus far battled online piracy with lawsuits are now turning to technology in a ratcheting-up of their fight to protect copyrighted music, a report here said.
The companies are financing development and testing of software that would sabotage the computers and internet connections of people illegally downloading copyrighted music, the New York Times reported Sunday.
Some of the tactics being developed by a handful of technology firms for unnamed clients may not even be legal, the report said.
