Probably not a solution for your situation; however, you might give this some consideration ...

In addition to theft, inadvertant sharing could also result in open access to your media/data collections.

It is also likely that the media/data is not shared since, by nature, the sharing of intellectual property eventually makes it a public resource that cannot be returned to a private state.

What I do to protect my intellectual property is to use PKWare zip software to encrypt anything that I do not want accessed without my explicit permission. Granted it is an RPIA!

For the media that I want to stream or review I do the following. I dumb down the resolution for video, I reduce the bit rate for music, I reduce the size/color/pixels in pictures, and for docs/presentations/data I use openoffice and it encryption feature. I also watermark with Digimark when appropriate.

Once I have my media prepared, I upload to the plug. This way I protect myself from the the video-and-music policing-zealots and I also protect my stuff to the degree possible yet allow access as necessary.

Pogoplug Farming(tm) is Fun!

I just tested by plugging in my USB drive where I store my truecrypt.tc file into the pogoplug. I ran truecrypt on my local computer, had it mount the truecrypt.tc file as drive V. It then behaves like a regular drive on your machine. Copy, add, sync, do whatever you want to that drive, and then dismount it. Your data is AES protected. Email me if you want to further discuss how to do this.
