	Cornell University researchers are trying to clear file-swapping networks of this kind of disappointment, with a new program aimed at filtering spam out of the peer-to-peer pool. But the tool could also ratchet up the antipiracy arms race, by filtering out the numerous "decoy" files used by Hollywood and record label allies to discourage illegal downloaders. Released Monday, the researchers' "Credence" software lets different computers "gossip" with each other in the background to figure out which peer-to-peer files can be trusted, and which should be ignored. The researchers say they're trying to take a page from Google's book, boosting the accuracy of search results by relying on the recommendations of other trusted users.
