This would simply need to be accounted for in the generation of the original image – you would encode data knowing what your end-result would come out looking like.

Now all we need is data transfers that look like web pages being transfered.

Like the definition of a “troll” is a post that is put there to attract angry replies from total noobs, LOL.

Your playing right into his trolls and even stating exactly what he’s doing by yelling troll…. id!ots

Open BT. They can’t sue you if you don’t know what is going through your network (it’s like suing ISPs for encrypted data that might be illegal flowing through its cables lol… come on, out of 100 file sharers I know, 120 use encryption). Unless we come to a point where it’s assumed all content that is hashed in a tracker is illegal.. lmao.

It’s been said, RIAA and merry friends actions will end up pushing everything to anonymity. Maybe at that point they’ll give up suing people and start actually working to adapt.

Bookmarked.

It’s called Camouflage and it’s a freeware

That would make me laugh, terminator salvation trailer (with a torrent in it) :D.

That fries my ass – Like nobody in the world can imagine legitimate uses for P2P.

What are you people doing on torrentfreak.com anyway if you’re here trying to bust pirates chops?

Dumb.

I have to agree with the others, this is a brilliant idea, but it’s the wrong implementation. The hidden content should be stegano-attached (ie, a watermark)

Not only would the mark be undetectable, it would be very hard to remove or disrupt. But automated decoding would also be equally hard. Basically you want to encode the info such that most people can decode it trivially, but the determined few cannot do it easily.

The RIAA/MPAA etc. often go after trackers, not necessarily torrent files themselves.

Then AGAIN they would have to figure out that images house the torrents and how to convert them before they’d get onto the trackers to snipe IPs, but once they figure it out, I’ll assume there will be large sites collecting these images torrents or using it for main distribution (which I still think would be a good idea, since the site can probably feign ignorance like “we didn’t know it was a torrent image lol”) but the tracker that’s connecting users is still fair game, where the copyright jerks will still sting people like they sting any other tracker.

tl;dr – Although there might be initial additional security, in the long run this isn’t going to do much at all.

imo

that way u can make both dht or tracker based magnetlinks

but torrents and indexing isnt really the big issue getting an good stable p2p tracker solution is, dht isnt optimal.

Idiots. Idiots. Idiots.

Meanwhile the files are still getting distributed and the pirate community is growing.

If you could show me a decrease in the illegal filesharing traffic or interest for filesharing, then I’d be inclined to agree with you.
Heck if you could even show a decrease in the growth of the filesharing community I’d be impressed.

But unfortunately for the industry their methods have proven unsuccessful and they’ve been unable to contain the “threat”. Hence why they’ve been pushing for 3 strike laws to be implemented all around the globe.

Sure we’ve seen some large trackers and index sites shut down in the last year. But considering how there’s more and larger fish in the pond than ever before it doesn’t surprise me that the catch has improved.

Last I checked the copyright industry was claiming that illegal filesharing was a growing threat to their existence, not diminishing or under control.

These efforts are the result of international legal cooeperation.

Newsflash 2: They aren’t ill-concieved. Judging by the fact that it has resulted in several high profile trackers shutting down, I’de say these efforts have been met with a large degree of success, wouldn’t you?

Prolly make more sense to .rar the .torrent first.
