Audible Magic, a content-filtering company, announced on Friday a wide-ranging agreement with Sony Music, aimed in part at improving tools to combat peer-to-peer piracy. The record label will provide digital “fingerprints” to Audible Magic, which creates technology that identifies and blocks songs as they are transferred online through file-swapping applications or other tools.
Sony will also license Audible Magic’s song-identification software for use in its internal operations, and the two companies will work together on an antipiracy program targeted at universities, they said.
