ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for hindering or preventing the illegal distribution of protected data in a peer-to-peer network comprising at least one peer operating an exchange program designed for distribution of data to at least one client according to a selective exchange protocol permitting the peer to operate a selection of clients to which the data is transferred, said selection being carried out as a function of one or more characteristics of the clients. In said method bogus data is sent to the peer such as to influence the selection of clients served by the peer, such that the peer is made to favor the transfer to authorized clients.
