What an amazing coincidence! Earlier today I learned the Chief Scientist for a large media company, which coincidentally owns several record labels, claims to have patented an inference engine used to prove a popular peer-to-peer MP3 distribution service is in league with the devil. Dr. Pullin Yurleg said his researchers started by XML-encoding the lyrics of the 1000 most popular song downloads. Then he applied XSLT transformations using techniques such as reverse-ordering and thematic mapping. Next, his software analyzed the lyrics using a taxonomy of Satanic themes, pattern recognition, IP address weights, and a variety of patented content-analysis algorithms. He would not describe the final step or provide details of the workings of the inference engine until the pending patent is approved. He said his research provides conclusive evidence of Satanic messages in lyrics and clusters of devil worshipers centered around university campuses.
