The proposed software, when installed, will inspect a computers configuration, to include any Wifi connections, P2P apps, activation and deactivation of security software, and security profiles. It will send decryption keys and other information back to the Hadopi HQ where it will be stored for a minimum of one year. The plan is to keep the data encrypted when it is stored.

Other technical requirements would be that the software will have a minimal hit to the users resources, and connection; must be easily installed and used; must be open sourced; and must work on all operating systems. One big requirement of the software would be that the data transfer that must inevitably take place must not be able to be intercepted , decrypted, or transferred to third parties.

• A summons to court, where if found guilty, a 1,500 Euro fine, and/or 30 days of internet access blockage.
