Alternatively, your company could choose not to act as a copyright cop.
Edit: Actually, reading the IETF link you posted, notifying users of a potential malware infection might be an example of how to use this technology in a non-shitty manner.
- neogodless 11y agoYes, when I wrote custom page tracking software for a custom forum I wrote and hosted, I was parsing out User-Agent information and would actually notice malware browser add-ons, and I'd gently post a notice at the top of my web page alerting them that they might want to run some malware scans. Security vs. privacy right there. That was a long time ago, and I don't track anything any more, but it was an interesting experiment.

- crumpled 11y agoThese companies aren't necessarily choosing to be copyright cops. I can't imagine that sounds very fun or beneficial to them. Systems were negotiated under legal pressure from the RIAA and MPAA. Of course, Time Warner and Comcast are both also content creators, so they might have some motivation to concede. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Alert_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Alert_System
