MiMTiD Corp: OpenSearchServer identifies over 100 Million instances of copyright infringements

About MiMTiD Corp.

On a monthly basis, MiMTiD submits thousands of take down notices to file hosting companies, torrent sites, streaming sites and most importantly search engines. Using our proprietary technology, MiMTiD is able to locate infringing content - globally.  Once the source links for the infringed content is located, MiMTiD uses its Fulcrum technology to reverse map streaming links, locker site links and torrent links to identify the search engine links that feed traffic to these repeat infringing sites. MiMTiD also identifies Advertising networks monetizing infringing content. Since November of 2009, MiMTiD has exclusively used OpenSearchServer to identify over 100 million instances of copyright infringement.  MiMTiD uses the data accumulated by OpenSearchServer to provide its Customers, U.S. Lawmakers and U.S. Law Enforcement with essential tools to combat global copyright infringement.The central software tool used to achieve this high end service is OpenSearchServer.

Main OpenSearchServer features used by MiMTiD

MiMTiD uses OpenSearchServer extraordinary crawling modules to precisely identify content in infringing websites and leverages the product’s expansive tools to create and test algorithms and tune query results with very impressive results.MiMTiD developments with OpenSearchServer started with version 1.1 in August 2010 and now uses v 1.2.

Some hosting consideration to better describe volume of data and infrastructure

Getting OpenSearchServer up and running on Linux takes minutes. By comparison, other products are very difficult to install, run and even grasp the basic operational concepts.  OpenSearchServer can be installed, operated and maintained by persons with minimal web experience.  The documentation and the seemingly simple PHP snippets enable the rapid development of powerful web applications that leverage the product’s features and enable distribution of results without the need to allocate resources to front end integration and development.  MiMTiD routinely uses OpenSearchServer to generate several million infringement prospects in a matter of hours. Simultaneously, the real-time results are being queried using algorithms designed in OpenSearchServer to rapidly identify the actual infringements.  In a twenty four hour period, one instance of OpenSearchServer running with over Redhat with 16 gigabytes of Ram on a Dell Nehalem Server can crawl millions of web pages and can be simultaneously queried hundred of thousands of times with no crawling performance trade off.  This is accomplished with the Replication feature.

Improving result readability

The combined use of OpenSearchServer and Carrot2 visualization offers a very human readable graphical representation of search results showing infringing websites, splitting them into clusters by content type, enabling the rapid discovery of potential infringements.

For example when you make a search for material related to "Elvis Presley" you first have a classical text presentation of results and you can browse them sing the automatic categorization or “clustering” on left side provided by the faceting feature.

Another possibility to see and navigate results is available when clicking on the tab "Circles". This feature enables efficient data representation showing graphically the categories of data present in the query results and that will allow you to navigate easily. The combination of OpenSearchServer and Carrot2 enables an incredibly powerful discovery tool and is an essential component of the MiMTiD system.
