Dont know how many of you read Slyck P2P News but the MPAA has been on a roll lately.

They are suing lokitorrent , raided a college kid for 200,00 in pirated software , and arrested a 20 year old girl for hundreds of pirated albums. They are targeting all major torrent trackers and have already shut down many, At this rate I think they could win eventually.

It's almost scary to download off BT anymore, you never know who's watching that tracker and waiting for unsuspecting IP's.

lol... well if they continue to shut down BT trackers then it effects us all

 

[PiggyFlyer]

They will never shut down the full p2p networks like Kazaa / emule... newzbin and the like, they are all conected thru the big web of puters.

 

[K.I.L.E.R]

They seem to hit easy targets.

The majority of file sharers who pirate don't even live in the US.

China, Russia, India, etc...

MPAA/RIAA will have little or no authority in those areas.

It'll never die. It's like the war on drugs, or terror, or whatever else. Some big fish will go down but it'll never die

 

[Razor Blade]

As Kane said it will never die. Even if BT isn't used anymore, give it a few months and I'll bet we'll see something new. P2P is evolving and isn't slowing down anytime soon.

 

[Kaiser Sigma]

People once mourned the loss of Napster... then they got Kazaa, Emule, BitTorrent and DC++ amongst others... P2P is like sex: it's just too big to be stoped.

 

[Razor Blade]

P2P is like sex: it's just too big to be stoped.

That's one way to put it :lol:

Simon Moon, the main guy behind ShareReactor ( after the founder gowenna died in a car accident =( ), started respectp2p after ShareReactor got taken down.

It is a good site for news about the p2p battle: http://respectp2p.org/

last time I check, the MPAA didn't control hentai :evil:

the probably of you being picked out of a 300 seed/peer torrent is about 0.3%.....using peerguardian or protowall, that percentile will be even less.

Sygate seems to be the most P2P-friendly firewall I used to date....always blocks the attempts made by comcast's abuse center

even if P2P is "defeated", it will go underground instead of attract media attention

 

[Dgurion]

Also a new bittorrent client called eXeem is said to be released soon, and it won't need a tracker to operate... So the MPAA has nothing to take down =) .... and surely P2P will never die, it is just too big.

 

[Foxfyre]

What happened to the so called new "anonymous" p2p softwares that are supposed to be coming out?

 

[Dgurion]

There are a few anonymous p2p programs... Ants, MUTE... just to name some, but they are in early development, and they dont have a lot of users...

 

[MaZa]

...plus they are sllloooOOOOoooow... Anonymising encryption requires quite a lot of power and bandwidth, iirc.

 

[ArchIBaLD]

i have the eXeem beta

 

[Viper_Viper]

i have the eXeem beta

How is it, can you please give us your personal oppinion. And do u have a key? or just the beta. Beacsue anyone can download it but u need the key to get it to work.

 

[T.O.F.K.A.Z]

KILL P2P ??? that will never happen.
There are a lot of ways to ensure anonimous downloading and such.

 

[KanedA]

heh... that's just impossible, if they want to kill P2P they can do that only when they'll kill us all (and than shut down our pcs) :evil:

 

[T.O.F.K.A.Z]

eh killing us would be sufficient actually or you must have an autosearch and loader for your p2p application whichs keeps going on (and an hdd to back it up )... it would otherwise only continue until downloading has finished

nevermind my ignorant rant thats just my mind going on autopiot once again older members know I sometimes do this
