P2P File Sharing News Comments 2006-08-09
Good technology. Now make a open source and P2P version. This crap is proprietary and probably expensive to licnese and the open source P2P networks will never pay to tap into it.
****************************************
Commercial, non open source. I already look down on it, but might be open to it if its really good. Skype, no-way. Anything connected to Kazaa or sharman networks, especially with their hoggy, crappy, and holey P2P technology (Kazaa is a bad example on Sharman or anything close to it on the ownership hierarchy). Kazaa and Skype both have a lot of security holes, and have very poor bandwidth control ability. I would pick GigaOM over skype any day. You may want to look at IP2P also. Warez P2P version 3.x is licensing this P2P protocol for its filesharing (I’m sticking to Emule though).

Put your fan films on emule. Nothing gets removed there until the last complete seeder stops sharing the file.

Seemse promising. I’ll wait until War3z Pro comes out as free warez on Emule to find out. Din’t work that well with exeem. I am hopefull of it though. These guys will probably get nailed by the RIAA next. It not being open source will probably keep me from switching because I don’t want it to ‘go away’ on me.
****************************************
The RIAA will dodge their unwanted bills too. No better or worse than most people. What makes it bad though, is they don’t want to change, and are fat and currupt like the medical industry.
****************************************
Edonkey is reduced priority for the RIAA because most people who connect to an ED2K server use open-source Emule. Emule users are 90% of the users on the ED2K network. I think Shareaza, mldonkey, and Morpheus also add up to more than the number of users of Edonkey. I don’t think the RIAA has a strong case against LimeWire at all unless they promoted downloading of pirated stuff in their marketing or in the atmosphere of their web site (not third-party sites run by fans or fraudsters) at all in the past 1,3,5,7,11, or whatever the statute of limitations is.

I like this, and I don’t think there is any overlording ‘BPAA’ to sue them as regardless of piracy or no-piracy, it could hurt used (ebay) and new book sales. But then again, the books aren’t being copied by the uploader(s) either, either, but its still cool. Maybe I can donate with a printed Emule-downloaded PDF 
Or just send a donkey link or email the PDF or CHM or DJVU Then I can send both wanted AND unwanted books as I don’t have that many unwanted books that will be popular (dud bargain books) For the rest I just don’t want to give up my copy, and even for the unwanted books, i could donate multiple copies because computers are cheap universal factories that are unfortunately limited to information and data. Wait until them Star-Trek replicators come out in a few centuries though he he… or even just nanofacs. Then even paper-books can be pirated for free too And toy gadgets too

This looks cool. Many Emule mods integrate webcache technology. The caches have to be able to speak on the emule source exchange protocol though and don’t work on other ED2k clients (Edonkey, MLDonkey, Shareaza, AMule, Morpheus, etc..). I wonder how ‘legitamit’ will be defined? A pay registry? A free registry? Or just not being on a blacklist? Most legit content will be homemade or open-source and cannot afford to pay much (or will refuse to pay anything) to have their files marked legit for BitTorrent-integrated CacheLogic-cacheing. Emule’s WebCache is indiscriminate, but has limited clientelle because it is mods only and 90% of all users on the Edonkey network are vanilla Emule users, so only 2-3% of all clients (webcache-enabled emule mods) are webcache compatible. BitTorrent/CacheLogic will take off and explode if there is no cost or hassle in getting legit content marked as such by their system. CacheLogic probably realized that caching technology has to be integrated and can’t rely solely on deep-packet sniffing as the uploader is unaware of the cache and will time-out the upload after 30 seconds (Emule) - and tell the downloader that, and the downloader will listen and terminate because, well, the RIAA likes to plant currupt files onto the P2P networks.

This looks cool. I may not use it effectivly though as I like Emule. It is a dual wired/wireless router. I think I want to get one of those without the cheap PC and hard drive embedded.
