If this rumor is true, you can munchkin right around utilizing P2P file sharing. Chinese internet censorship is very ineffective with P2P.

Plenty of ED2K links at my download page . You can also use the built-in search engine. Burn CDs and DVDs with chinese-language bible addons for e-sword and sword project, or just use the standalone .chm files. Burn audio bibles to CD or DVD! Burn the Jesus Film Project XVIDs to CD or convert them back to MPEG2 for DVDs!

If the chinese censors block audiotreasure.com (or you just don’t want to download individual mp3s chapter-by-chapter), I PowerShare a consolidated archive on the eDonkey P2P netowrk (ED2K link on my site or just search for ‘audio bible audiotreasure.com’. I also got DVDRips of the Jesus film project in multiple chinese dialects. There are 3 other users in the UK that are devoting lots of bandwidth, so you will get decent speed smuggling contraband bibles into China! Piracy is a menace in China. Lets exploit it to spread the word of God! Even if it has to be the street vendors selling copies of audio bibles for a buck. Or maybe a brave athlete or coach person can risk arrest and torture and hand out free bible CDs and DVDs. If you can’t get em’ on the plane, you can use the internet, and proxy sites or P2P or anti-TCP-reset software can bypass the censors.

An Engadget article chronology of the DRM wars on HD-DVD and Blu-Ray. My Opinion: Use eMule / BitTorrent or just go without, or else you will be buying a new player every year or two. Plus your many of your legal discs will eventually be stolen (TSA from luggage; house burglary). If copies are stolen, then who cares??

Got some shady curruption-exposing footage that may violate national secrets or trade embargos? Or just make a politician uneasy or worried for his career (power)?

Well if you don’t need profit (unlike Michael Moore), send it straight to the P2P networks (Emule, BitTorrent)! Then there is no need for stashing in foreign countries to protect from containment-confiscation. Moore was lucky because he’s famous enough for enough movie pirate to be interested in his footage to leak a DVD screener (DVDSCR; generally privileged people only like media critics, which would be a small subset of the pirate population).

Well, it would seem his concerns are no longer warranted because a DVDSCR of the film, the most magical download of them all(Oscar season anyone?), has appeared on BitTorrent tracker sites for all the world to see.

So now, even if the Treasury Dept does decide to seize his film, it looks like there will be plenty of copies to go around.

Oh btw, I don’t think the US goverment staged and masterminded the 9/11 attacks. But I do believe that the USA may have been aware, but over-classified thought-out scenarios and possibly even drills. and that George Bush possibly abused his power as president to double-cross prior business arrangements with al-queada types in Pakistan, helping to instigate the 9/11 attacks.

Here’s the 4-Star, 3 1/2 Star, 3-Star groupings from GateWorld Network – TrekGuide for Star Trek Enterprise. Also 4 1-dozen eMule download queue-groupings (Episode XVids are 340-350MB; ripped from DVD for english; Sat-Rips for European overdubs). Remember , 308 = 3×08 or S03E08 when searching in eMule.

Here’s the TOS episodes. Same deal, the 4-star, 3 1/2 star, 3-star lists, and then the download-batch lists. TOS is only 3 batches because there are only 3 seasons rather than 7 (TNG, DS9, VOY; Ent will have 4). I make enough batches to cover roughly half of the episodes, though I will only likely download the first list for TOS, Ent and the first two lists for DS9, TNG, VOY. I may get to the 2nd list (TOS, Ent)), or 3rd to 4th or 5th lists (TNG, VOY, DS9) much later on. I still have to do lists for Deep Space Nine, Enterprise, Andromeda, Farscape, and Babylon 5. GateWorld has a lot of unrated episodes for the original Star Trek Series plus I have a lower percentagae of episodes that I have personally seen also. Tribbles is definitely my #1 favorite though.

I made a priority queue in groups of 12 for downloading Star Trek Episodes off of eMule. I finished the TNG queue. When searching for eMule the episodes are formatted S##E## or #x##. So Episode 106 is S01E06 or 1×06. Search for the title also (translate if neccesary) – you may filter out unwanted foreign-language overdubbs (non-english are usually sat-rips instead of dvd-rips). If you don’t use eMule, you can still use the list it as an opinionated guide to develop your own favorites off of wherever else you will (or will not) get these.

Update 2007-06-05 — Added 4, 3 1/2, and 3-Star lists from GateWorld Network – TrekGuide, The episode guide that I used to choose episodes for the download-batches.

I’m exploring christian metal music. I found artisits I might like using the wikipedia as a guide. Of these, I found full discography archives for Mortification and Disciple. Found album archives for a few others. Other artists I found only individual MP3s. I couldn’t find anything for Echo Hollow (labelled as Thrash on wikipedia). I like Thrash, Groove, and Nu-Metal mostly and like Industria & progressive metal a little bit. If I like an artist enough, i’ll buy one or more legit albums. If i like one a really really alot (like Soulfly / Max Cavalera) I may buy the whole discography (likely at least 4-8 months from now). If it is half-chrisitan (mixed lyrics or fully christian but scripturally incorrect), then I will just remain content with Soulfly because many songs in his first 3 albums are half-christian (Primitive – FlyHigh is Soulfly’s only fully christian, not scripturally incorrect song). There are also two ‘not applicable’ people downloading biblical material. They may be people in high censorship countries using black-market connections (which often use hijacked but likely dormant IP addresses). I got my 3 Terabytes of external storage (actually 1.5 TB becuase of mirroring; 4 500 GB + 2 250 GB + 2 already-own 250 GB), so I’m scarfing down the rest of the Chuck Missler stuff also. I also have a total of 1280GB of portable laptop-drive storage – 4 x 160GB + 8 x 80GB of which 3 soon to be 5 80GB drives installed into a machine). I also got all my DVDs consolidated (a whopping 300GB!). There is also a lot of worldwide inter-continental diversity in the currently-uploading panel, including Iran, Viet Nam, and Serbia & Montenegro. Click on thumbnail for full 1600×1200 pic. Screenie taken 2007-04-20.

I’m sharing Chuck Smith’s (Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa) c2000 bible study sermon series. They don’t seem to be very attractive. An american downloaded about 150MB and quit. 2 brazillians appear to scarfing them down whole though. Hopefully they’ll keep seeding the files for a (long) while after finishing, maybe even perma-share them. Click on thumbnail for full 1600×1200 pic. Screenie taken 2007-04-06.

For most of 2007, at least 75% of people with chinese IP Addresses in my upload queue are requesting bible / christian material. I hope they keep it up. Get more of the word of god into the illegal but word-preaching house-churches rather than the worthless catholic deriviative denomination (the only legal christian denomination in China) that is flooded with false propaganda. Most of the traffic is probably well-off individuals thinking just like us americans though – getting commercial product for free – in this case the Dramatized NLT Bible on CD package that got indexed by VeryCD in late 2006. This screenie got lost in limbo for while but I found it and remembered about the week before last. Click on thumbnail for full 1600×1200 pic. Screenie taken 2007-03-19.

Chiese person downloading the great tongue-a-rama. A 2nd chinese person is downloading the Biiible.com ultimate collection in RTF (rich-text-format / Windows-Wordpad). Click on thumbnail for full 1600×1200 pic. Screenie taken 2007-03-19.

This one as diverse world representation – Asia, Africa, Oceana, Eastern Europe. 4 of them are downloading bible stuff of which 3 are piracy of copyrighted material — Tyndale NLT Audio Bible – Copyrighted, active lawyers, royalty-demanding, ‘Diet’ RIAA. I’ll be adding 2 copyright-legal audio bibles (800-1200MB) plus Chuck Smith’s Audio bible commentaries (5.2GB) when I get my new hard drives (4 500GB desktop drives in 2 mirrored pairs + 1 spare, 2 non-mirrored 160GB laptop drives) at the end of April (my Dell’s Hard drive is full of DVDs that I don’t have room for elsewhere). These 4 releases (KJV Audio Bible, WEB Audio Bible, Chuck Smith NT, Chuck Smith OT) will be all copyright-legal. Taken 2007-03-10.

Got three people located within Israel in my currently-uploading list at once! None of them are downloading bible stuff though. A chinese person and a German is though. I my self have been downloading all of the stuff I could find on Mark Eastman, who pretty much quit ministering (apologetic / evangilizing to intellectuals) after quitting his partnership with Chuck Missler. Chuck Missler is very popular on eMule because his stuff is appealing to the paranoid / conspiracy / UFO audience. Taken 2007-03-10.

Look RIAA! I’m downloading craploads of Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5 and other sci-fi soundtracks in album-archives! At least two dozen. Taken 2007-03-08

5 Months in a minimum security prison camp. No county-jail contract for his short sentence (it is common practice for <12mo sentences). He gets to self-report to prison. Has to wait for a letter and then has a 10-day deadline. The letter can take up to 6 months to arrive as he has to wait in an anti-overcrowding queue, (I think only low and minimum security prisons get this privilidge). Then he has 5 months of home confinement, which is like minimum security prison, but with much more plentiful visitation. Then 2-3 years of federal-probation (supervised release). I don't know how easy it is to get violated in federal probation compared to Arizona or New York probation (Arizona is easy to get violated and overbooked).

****************************************

3 Months for this one. This is in Hong Kong. Just a major uploader as opposed to a major operator of a large semi-private piracy group and BitTorrent tracker/index.

“not much of a difference between Chan’s uploading the movies and someone manufacturing and distributing illegal DVDs.” — The difference is Piracy-4-Money vs Piracy-4-Free. Piracy-4-Money has a higher lost-sale ratio than Piracy-4-Free.

Well people do steal IP addresses. Either shady business (shady is relative to oppressiveness of resident country’s government), or unavailability (resident country’s government refuses to give you IP address or they just don’t have any left), or just don’t want to pay for the IPs. You can configure your computer to use any IP address you please. If you are in another country you can just use a black-market region-free icann-ignoring router, if you even need one. Just if somebody else is using it, you’ll knock both yourself and the other party offline! But if the IP’s owner isn’t using it and hasn’t used in awhile and won’t use it for a long while, he’ll never know!!

I wonder, why are this ‘bogons’ (unassigned or well-known unused ip address ranges) are so aggressively blocked by bluetack, which (hopefully) work for the security and well-being of P2P filesharing users and common-civilian users in general? Do national governments steal IP addresses? Of course the mafia would use stolen IP addresses for their virii and botnets and spam networks. Does the RIAA and MPAA themselves steal IP addresses for monitoring and sabotage?

Either way I get far more hits from NetSentry than I do from MediaSentry. I get the most from cyberverse online, which is MPAA I think. BayTSP uses packet sniffing and seems to have shifted to high-profile, high quality high-price, such as corporate trade secrets and really high-end, high-priced products like $50,000/copy medical records software. BayTSP uses deep-packet sniffing, possibly licensed from CacheLogic. MediaSentry and NetSentry spider the P2P networks with mutant clients and servers.

Kazaa is a thing of the past.

Ah good on Chinese Communist Party Tyrants Censoring Away and Boosting Piracy

Emule and BitTorrent exempt. Not by chinese censor desire though Censorship will foster more piracy though

So:

Unblock all the damned imports. This is preferred by me and maybe the RIAA and MPAA too because it means more $$$ for them and possibly substantially less piracy due to availability of legit product. China will very likely NOT do this. Mafia / black market pressing plants / Piracy-4-Money will probably be vastly affected so they won’t like it.

-or-

Block Emule and BitTorrent and make it a chore to hack unlike the web censorship. Fits China’s tyrannical nature better. RIAA / MPAA probably indifferent – piracy somewhat curbed but no $$$ from legit sales either. Definitely the preferred choice for the piracy-4-money folk and the mafia in addition to the communist party too.

-or-

Unblock all the damned imports, but block P2P. I wouldn’t like it. I’m an Emule Addict. The Mob wouldn’t like it – availability of legit product affects them more than file sharing. The RIAA / MPAA’s dream come true!!! China would be wishy-washy, especially if they learn of the politically sensitive material on the P2P networks. They may non like sex and porn, but they hate things that encourage resentment of the party’s tyranny more than any actual moral value.

-or-

Just leave things as it is. Indifferent choice to me. The MPAA and RIAA definitely won’t like this – No $$$, rampant piracy amplified by lack of legit product supply. The mafia and illegal pressing plants are impacted as well but at least legit product is still scarce so they still have a market. The communist party will probably be content with this too.

in summary:

Unblock legit product imports & stop censoring:  Me +1; Mob -1; RIAA/MPAA +1; China -1 = +1 / 0 / +1 /  0
Keep censoring and black out P2P:                Me -1; Mob +1; RIAA/MPAA  0; China +1 = -1 / 0 /  0 / +1
Stop censoring but black out P2P:                Me -1; Mob -1; RIAA/MPAA +1; China 0 = -1 / -2 / -1 / -1
Keep censoring and leave P2P Alone:              Me  0; Mob  0; RIAA/MPAA -1; China +1 =  0 / 0 / -1 /  0

Winner (Me only): Unblock legit product imports and stop censoring
Winner (Me+Mob): No Winner; 3-Way Tie
Winner (Me+Mob+RIAA/MPAA): Unblock legit product imports and stop censoring
Winner (Me+Mob+RIAA/MPAA+China): Keep censoring and black out P2P

So Fuck you China-Gov!! ??Unblock legit product imports and stop censoring??? wins in 2 out of 4 scenarios! (Freedom 2; Tyranny 1; Status-Quoe Polarity-Reversal: 0; Status-Quoe: 0). Now this isn???t fair because I didn???t do all 16 combinations of the superset (Me, Mob, RIAA/MPAA=MAFIAA, China commy anti-god bio-terrorists), but I really don???t give a damn about china???s communists, or the RIAA / MPAA to give them their fair share.

Found static html dump archives for wikipedia! The december version of the english wikipedia isn’t out yet. I’m going to wait for that. I’m pretty sure it can be run locally in a web browser, but it may need an external laptop drive all to itself when unzipped! They are in .7z archives. .7z is for 7-zip. It is open source / GPL. I encourage those who want to contribute the bandwidth, to share a copy on Emule!! And rename the files so they are searchable. wikipedia-en-html-1.7z is only mediocre on searchability. Add ‘dump’, ‘offline’, ‘backup’, ’static html’ to the filename will help. Oh yeah china blocks the wikipedia, probably partially because of these dumps, so get them up on Emule! China does not block Emule (Plenty of HighID chinese users)!!! So chinese can get their tibet massacre or pro-democracy crap off of Emule or BitTorrent while the commy-party thinks their ’subjugated’ citizens are mostly pirating away at american movies (encouraged by import restrictions). Oh yeah, Iran doesn’t block Emule either.

An abridged offline wikipedia CD seeded on BitTorrent! Free and legal! Also a 1.5GB (probably imageless) unabridged version for Ipods! Now I wonder If I can download a version for PC viewing (especially TabletPC). MS-HTMLHelp .chm seems to scale to 450MB well for the Penton Media VIP CD (All articles from penton Media IT-related magazines and newsletters since they first started). Not sure if it will scale to an offline Wikipedia. I’ve had 350MB PDFs load pretty well but these wre no-OCR (all pages are images), high-DPI RPG books.

****************************************

More stuff free and legal on BitTorrent (and probably made their way to Emule as well)

****************************************

Well, recompress it with xvid and seed it back up! Hopefully the oversized 1+GB 5-min clip is compressed with a lossless codec. It would be the only sound reason for the file to be so large. Otherwise it is sheer stupidity.

****************************************

ShareConnecter is returning soon! They were pretty good, but I was a very intermittent user.

****************************************

I seem to be having a hard time finding Azureus 3.0. Only Zudeo ‘Powered by Azureus‘. They have venture capital now. They are becoming infected. They are in fear of the MPAA. I do hope Zudeo turns out to be more like YouTube with higher quality videos (even if it is moderated though moderator salaries arn’t cheap so that venture capital won’t last long) rather than what BitTorrent is turning into though – A DRM infested MPAA distribution drone. When downloading Zudeo, the filename was ‘Azureus_3_0_windows.exe’. Also I cannot find source code, so it is apparently closed-source now. Also Azureus 2.5 and earlier and 3.0 are on different web sites. A secret / confidential buy-out (and the new owner got the venture funding) may have been involved with an unknown amount of coder turnover.

****************************************

Being MPAA infected, I’m pretty sure BitTorrent WILL fuck up uTorrent. Azureus appears to be in the process of becoming MPAA and DRM infected. BitComet is closed-source as well and will probably be consumed by MPAA-BitTorrent as well as they have to have a special license or permission to not release source code or they would be a GPL-violator. BitTornado is open source.

****************************************

It’s happening to me to. Watching less TV, and my current TV watching is on a much narrower range of channels — Discovery Channel, Discovery Science, Discovery Times Channel, SciFi Channel, Fox Soccer Channel, GolTV, and MLS Shootout season-package PPV mostly.

****************************************

Excellent case study with aggragates and psychology of BitTorrent user behavior. It refers seeders as ‘gifters’ (should be synonymous with ‘givers’ and ‘giving’), legit peers / leechers as traders, and those using leecher-Mods or other hacks as freeriders (synonymous with freeloaders). No sign of the label of ‘thieves’ or ’stealing’ in this paper

Hey, despite being in with the tyrrany, at least he isn’t a hypocrit. I bet the kids got grounded for at least a week when they got busted, and they probably were like most users who get sued — leeches who don’t manage their incoming folder (which modern P2P applications exploit to foster the health of their networks) and neglect the ip blocker.

Like this bit from the TinyMixTapes article:

Dad: Son?
Son: Oh… ummm… I was just finishing up an, uh… Excel document so I cank eep track of all my ponies.
Dad: Oh no! Oh God, no! Did I just see SoulSeek up on your screen?
Son: (Looks down) I???m sorry dad. I mean, you give me all these free CDs from Warner, but frankly, your music sucks.
Dad: I???m so disapointed in you, son. You are taking an artist???s intellectual property, you know that, right?
Son: I know, I know. I???m really sorry… Uh… dad, how much do artists make off of cd sales?
Dad: Uh, way less than 10 percent. muHaHahaha!!!
Son: More ponies for us, eh?
Dad: Yeah, more ponies.

****************************************

Hey it looks like the MPAA and RIAA copyright mafia have rigged the ‘Nike+iPod Sport Sport Kit’ to be a ‘Nike+iPod Sport Spy Kit’ to combat F2F trading over short-range Wi-Fi.

****************************************

Way too much sueing. It may appear to be pro-P2P, but it is not. It is definitly anti-RIAA so the RIvTP lawyers gladly help. It may affect open-source P2P like Emule even after a shutdown or hand-off if any of the individual developers has an expensive car or house and it would be a RIAA victim sueing instead of the RIAA.. I wouldn’t be surprised if the RIAA lawyers pitch-in with legal help to help their own victims take down P2P developers. Great RIAA (both the music pirate supsect and the RIvTP and other lawyers) pawns in their attacks against the developers.

****************************************

He’s Piracy-4-Money, so I really don’t give a damn. I like the ‘laughing all the way to jail’ part though he he. Sounds like the Pirate Bay ‘legal threats’ page.

****************************************

This one is an inital Piracy-4-Free release, followed by Piracy-4-Money. It involved screeners. Wish he didn’t sell them. Pre-Theater-Release Screeners are wickedly cool.

Freddy Krueger: 1, 2, Freddy’s coming for you; 3, 4, better lock your door; 5, 6, grab your crucifix; 7, 8, gonna stay up late; 9, 10, never sleep again!

RIAA: 1, 2, The RIAA’s coming for you; 3, 4, better lock your connection; 5, 6, grab your IP Blocker; 7, 8, gonna manage my shares; 9, 10, never be sued!

****************************************

Nice spoof. Look out for these for the lack of links (not even to a comment to a prior story) in the ‘also see’ section or even an in-line link in the article. Claimed that the RIAA want to force libraries to only sell rather than lend out their DVDs and CDs ($1 per music track on a CD, $20 per movie on a DVD) because the patrons will only copy them to blank media before returning it back to the library. The gnu.org article has some actual really happening nasties flying around congress that can be the prelude to both the science fiction short story and the p2pnet spoof if they were to actually pass.

****************************************

He probably got bought… Can’t have him going off and creating a newer, better file sharing protocol & app (From the MPAA’s Perspective)….

#1 – Don’t Share Files — NO! That is leeching! The RIAA actually encourges this behavior because it is bad for the health of P2P sharing. It should be ‘Don’t be a leech, but know what your sharing’. Set up permashares (intentially designated marked shared folders) and put what you want to share in there and regularly watch your incoming folder. If you don’t want to share it, remove it from the incoming folder promptly. I have an unshared ‘assimilation’ folder placing these ‘don’t-want-to-sahre’ incoming files.

#2 – Rename your shared files — For the RIAA – it is better for the network to just share album and discoagraphy archives. THe RIAA currently is only monitoring for MP3s. Plus Emule and BitTorrent prefer large files.

#3 – Use and Site Fair Use — Don’t agree – it is not good to exploit ambigutities in the law to look legal. That is what the RIAA does to make their extortion seem legal. If it is a quote or modest excerpt, use and cite fair use, otherwise don’t bother, it ain’t worth the effort as it probably won’t work for you as you don’t have the lawyer cash.

#4 – Use Secure Internal Connections – I agree if you are paranoid about getting caught. Not enough people get caught to care, but legally hotter items than music and movies can be share, such as terror plots, pedoporn, and espionage. These defiintly should be shared on highly secured F2F darknets. Otherwise I prefer the open, free-for-all P2P networks.

#5 – Open Your WiFi – Bad Exploit. A dynamic IP address should be sufficient, as long as you have dial-up (it usually changes upon reconnect) or it changes on its own at least a few times aday.

#6 – Don’t Use P2P and Don’t Pirate Files – Well this is effective, but doesn’t match the theme. But the RIAA does sue on fair-use things too, though many fan-films use full songs, which really isn’t legal on my interpretation of ‘fair use’, but they shouldn’t be fussing over non-commercial uses like they are now.

Forcing a LowID with a firewall (blocking incoming connections) outside of student control will definitly curb file sharing as students are normally not allowed to host servers and stuff anyway. Blocking outgoing connections on the default ports of common file sharing programs will knock out non-veterans and limit veterans as well as 60-70% of clients on the whole network use default ports and these become unreachable. BitTorrent has more legit uses than pure P2P programs but it cannot function at all on a firewalled / lowID connection though. If you are a student and you want to use P2P on a poorly P2P-secured network but with harsh disciplinary penalties, then you best use an IP blocker and keep it up to date and be conscious of what you’re sharing (dilligence on the incoming folder while donwloading new-release and especially pre-release music and movies mostly) as IP blockers aren’t perfect. Regulating your bandwidth usage on Emule and BitTorrent will help too. Most schools appear to only reactively enforce anti-P2P policies out of liability-fear, so you getting busted often requires a DMCA complaint or you significantly adversely hindering the network for everyone else (shared bandwidth) for them to complain. Many research types are pro-P2P or apethetic (don’t care but positive tendancy) if no plagarism or commercial abuse is involved.

****************************************

Multiple Sclerosis is irrelevant with the RIAA’s system. She may be directly guilty (actual user they successfuly downloaded one or more songs from) or indirectly guilty (person they downloaded one or more songs from was not her but had her IP within 24hrs but she was using P2P also, though maybe not at or near the time of download), or innocent, but that doesn’t matter. It is obvious that the victims are only sometimes guilty and that the guilty (directly, which is rare, or indirectly) are often on the lower end of the computer literacy spectrum, and the subset of handcapped people has a majority overlap with the subset of low-computer litteracy P2P users, hence all the lawsuits on disabled mothers, young childeren, and the deceased.

****************************************

The Article is suggesting that the RIAA is targeting lower income victims so that they can’t fight back because they can’t afford their lawyer. This extort-them-all campaign is definitly meant for fear-tactic propaganda.

****************************************

Looks like the RIAA is trying to put a lid on the reverse-engineering and disclosure of their shady lawsuit practices.

Clever crack. An command line command doubles the activation deadline from 30 to 60 days. Then a crack that exploits some bugs and utilizes RC2 files to enable your RC2 serial number to work until the RC2 expiration date, which is June 2007. When the activation deadline passes, unlike Windows XP, the OS isn’t fully disabled, it only becomes major crippleware and nagware. Also the activation and serial-key processes has XP’s WGA fully integrated into it rather than it being a separate spyware band-aid (it may still be spyware though, just integrated rather than add-on band-aid). Microsoft will probably invalidate the RC2 exploit in a ’security’ (IP) patch to the ‘Software Protection Platform’. My suggestion is to wait for the retail version to pop up on Emule. Kegen-generated Retail keys tend to get invalidated less.

****************************************

Ares Galaxy has joined the BitTorrent bandwagon! Is the Ares network staying though — ie an Ares/BitTorrent combo-client, or is it going to become a dedicated BitTorrent client? LimeWire I know is going to become a dual Gnutella/BitTorrent client so fresh organized releases will spill into Gnutella for however well Gnutella will handle the large files. Shareaza already does this favor for both Edonkey (Emule) and Gnutella (LimeWire/FrostWire).

****************************************

The Pirate Bay is growing growing growing! I like the new wallpapers. I wonder if the piratbyran alliance — piratbyran, Pirate Party Sweden / piratpartiet, The Pirate Bay — has paid off most or all of the high-interest credit card debt they ammased from the recovery from the MPAA raid? Servers and co-lo contracts aren’t cheap, after all

****************************************

This ‘protocol obfuscation required’ Eserver feature is not documented on Lugdunum’s site in the donkey.ini documentation. Does the DonkeyServer No# people have access to the source code or was lugdunum just too lazy to (or deliberately) document the feature? As it is an option I don’t mind the feature, but I wonder if its an official feature, or if DonkeyServer No1 has become a modded server (not necessarily malicious), and if other servers will follow. Well it probably knocks out a lot of malicious clients, but they’ll just be able to take the obfuscation code from Emule’s open source, so it is short-term. There is a lot of computer semi-litterates that are casual users. These users have a higher tenancy to leech. Maybe DonkeyServer No # servers are being subject to bandwidth throttling and the obfuscation requirement is just simply being tested on DonkeyServer No1?

Also DonkeyServer No1 and DonkeyServer No2 have been having a lot of downtime in the past week, and my own connection has been less stable as well. Unlike onboard or internal ethernet (Hotel ethernet jacks, DSL modems, Office LAN, Cable Modems) though, I don’t have to reboot; I can just yank out my verizon card and put it back in to unfreeze my Internet access and make it work again; other people with PC-card or USB ethernet or direct-modems probably have the same benefit, but my Novatel V620 does go through Dial-Up Networking and not Ethernet/LAN like My old Sierra Wireless AirCard 555 did. I can see myself being a DOS target by the RIAA, MPAA, or even China (Bible sharing) because I am a seeding, releasing user (I’m not a good choice for a RIAA/MPAA lawsuit because I don’t seed or release original RIAA/MPAA copyrighted works). Obfuscation shouldn’t affect the success or failure of DoS attacks though.

As I don’t think any non-Emule client supports obfuscation yet, I can’t tell if only the lack of protocol obfuscation is being targeted, or it is insisting on the newest Emule version and thus shutting out Amule, Shareaza, and MLDonkey clients. I guess the only way to test is whether Emule 0.47b clients with protocol obfuscation enabled will be able to connect and get results. But I wonder why unacceptable clients are not being rejected at connection-time rather than giving error-message search results? That sounds fishy. This appears to have been the case since at least mid-october. Hopefully it is only discriminating against the lack of protocol obfuscation and not non-Emule clients.
