A method for providing trusted content, comprising:
- searching for media content on system that exchanges content over a peer-to-peer network;
- receiving data associated with the media content from wherein the received data includes information indicative of a title and information indicative of at least one location of the media content on the peer-to-peer network;
- parsing the title from the received data;
- substituting a trusted source for the at least one location wherein the trusted source is on a different network;
- and
- receiving the media content from the trusted source based on the parsed title.
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer instructions that when executed:
- search for content on at least one system that exchanges content over a peer-to-peer network;
- receive a seed file associated with the content from wherein the received seed file includes information indicative of a title and information from which at least one location of the content on the peer-to-peer network is determined;

- select a trusted source based on the parsed title for a different location of the content wherein the trusted source is on a different network from the peer-to-peer network;
- and
- receive content from the trusted source in place of the at least one location.
A apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor capable of executing computer instructions;
- at least one memory coupled to said processor by way of a communication bus, said memory having stored thereon computer executable instructions that when executed:
- receive data associated with media content from a system that exchanges media content over a peer-to-peer network wherein the received data includes a title of the media content and information indicative of at least one location of the media content on the peer-to-peer network;
- parse the title of the media content from the received data;
