Microsoft Will Use Ethereum To Block Pirated Windows and Office!

Thanks to the work "Argus: A Fully Transparent Incentive System for Anti-Piracy Campaigns" prepared by Microsoft, this system, called Argus, is a transparent and incentive system to the Ethereum blockchain infrastructure. will have the system. Of course, it would be wrong to characterize this incentive in a positive way because Microsoft will implement many incentive-reducing methods so that whistleblowers cannot leak content.

The first of these methods is to be able to detect the leaked pirated content to its source. In other words, the probability of detecting the informant who leaked the content will be quite high, and therefore the job of the informants will become more and more difficult. The second reason that will complicate the job of whistleblowers is that Microsoft has considerably reduced the costs of research for such detections. According to the information in the article, the cost of the hack reports is the same as the money required to make 14 Ethereum transfers.

Argus will prevent a whistleblower from re-reporting previously disclosed pirated content under different aliases to the system, stopping the spam of unnecessary information called "spam", and ensuring that only important data can be accessed. The Microsoft research department stated later in the article that with this infrastructure, they have overcome a number of hurdles in offering full transparency without sacrificing security.
