Abstract(in English) P2P file sharing applications have been widely used by millions of users all over the world. However, these applications do not usually have management mechanisms for distributing files in general. Consequently, copyright infringements in P2P file sharing networks have become prevalent. In order to prevent illegal file distribution, an index poisoning has attracted much attention recently. Although the index poisoning aims to obfuscate uses by diffusing a lot of dummy metadata in P2P networks, its effects have not been well studied yet. In this paper, we propose an index poisoning method for Winny network, one of the most popular P2P file sharing networks in Japan, and evaluate the effectiveness of our control over file distribution. The evaluation result show that index poisoning is effective in Winny network but it could also give a bad influence on the network.
