I am glad that I have stopped buying any records affiliated with IFPI labels many years ago, and I hope many will follow this ideology. Until IFPI and RIAA die, musicians and listeners alike will be supressed and extorted. These organisations need to disappear, and fast.

Anyone?
Can we get some protection for the poor people who are harassed and threatened by copyright movements?

Where is the law protecting the innocent?

“The OpenBitTorrent tracker does not itself host any copyright protected works, but enables the infringement of sound recordings and other copyright works…” – E-mail? MSN? Other messengers, any1?

The internet enables infringement so we should shut it down, right?

The arguments MAFIAA presents fail hard at proving their point. And when they prove, they are based on fake researches. I lol’d.

I smell an epic failure here as obt can be used for legal stuff, more than indexers if you think about it… I’d pity them but all their actions, the ACTA, the way they ruin lives to keep their stupid business model alive prevents me from doing so.

I really think this sounds more real thus:

…This time, they hope to find a company that is less coward and faggot to threats from the music industry.

What a bunch of douchebags. It’s a technology you do not like, get over it you bastards.

They did after all move to Spain to receive the protection of this law. Past local cases should provide a quick win. Others have interest to sponsor their case.

Stand and fight or get bullied out of town. The best defence is a good offense.

The corporate parasites know that but they don’t care. We have to kill them all.

Criminal copyright infringements Hum?

The only criminals I can see right now are the entertainment industry of parasites executives and their lawyers.

Let’s put away all these vermin’s.

They clearly have no clue where the TBP servers are right now.

Whahahahahahahaha!

You’re right. But it is trivial to update and append this list of bootstrap nodes on the client side. Such nodes are already posted regularly everywhere on the net: forums, newsgroups etc…

People who lack the skills to update their bootstrap nodes cache — manually if need be — by following instructions in forums shouldn’t be using DHT in the first place, I guess. ;)

Those little distros can already run an opentracker daemon on their sites. Even for popular distros, bandwidth needs to contact the tracker are minimal and definitely affordable. They don’t strictly NEED openbittorrent.

The recording industry is based upon duplication and distribution for profit. We can do that now, so we don’t need them, neither do artists (most of whom make more money through gigs, sponsorship deals and merchandise than they do from recording industry contracts)

If the recording industry’s answer to becoming obsolete is the act of harassing everyone, they’re only streamlining the process of their extinction as their acts encourage more and more people to boycott them.

Support the artist (gigs, merchandise, donations, etc), f*ck the middleman and their redundant, paid-for duplicaiton service.

Fuck you

You probably suck your pay off these copyright suites.

and as for bit-torrent
Don’t worry, coz for each tracker and uploader that goes down, we will put 10 more up……………..

PIRATES FOR LIFE…………..

Torrents sux!

yeah! this story has entered the popular today section on popurls.com…

The greedy, fascist conglomerates (BPI/MPAA/RIAA/…) are really contempt on destroying both the Internet and themselves.

Well, screw ‘em.

has anyone noticed that the MOVIE section has not been showing up on DEMONOID for a while.. i tried logging in to see if that was why. no change..

anyone see similar?

As an example if every pirate gave up say 200 MB of storage on their computer and that 200 MB hosted 2000 – 0.1 MB files. Each of those files being a piece of a movie or a song, but no more than 0.1 MB of that file. How would you be able to tell what was in that 0.1 MB file? You wouldn’t assuming it was part of a whole movie.

Then imagine an ever growing network of servers with knowledge of where each of those files is located and stored with the ability to feed that information out an http protocol.

Finally imagine a program that sifts through that data and figures out which parts in the millions it needs and saves those, then re-compiles it on the users end without access to any of the storing computers IP addresses.

Combine the 3 of those things and you’ve got a literal bank house of information that makes it so that no one pirate is held responsible for stealing anything, everyone is anonymous and to stop the prossess they’d have to stop new servers from popping up, which is like killing the internet if done right.

That in essence is my idea.

In reality, the anti-p2p corps could just as easily take down our “Decentralized” DHT networks, as they are trying to take down these private trackers…..

But don’t let them know this little secret….

Think about it, you send a torrent hash to the tracker, it points you to peers who have the file.

You send a torrent hash over the “decentralized” DHT network (Kamadelia, mainline, or utorrent), and the network connects you to possible “peers”…..

Same EXACT concept….

To prove this, add
127.0.0.1 router.bittorrent.com
127.0.0.1 router.utorrent.com

to your HOSTS file

Your torrent client will NOT connect to the DHT network….

As of this post, I’m unfamiliar with Vuze/azureus/Kamadelia’s bootstrap address……so, if you use either of the clients using that DHT spec, you will likely still connect to the DHT node BUT, will not connect to DHT under BitTorrent OR uTorrent.

[It was posted in the DHT Myths article. By the same token, you've just proved how easy it is to use any IP address as the bootstrap node, and countered your own point. Also Vuze lets you add any IP you want as a bootstrap for it's DHT system - K`Tetch, TorrentFreak researcher]

Surely there are “issues” with certain media. But you just can’t cripple a whole service for only a portion of its so called “content”.

What these UGLY companies don’t realise is that bit-torrent has many more uses than simply sharing leaked music tracks.

It saves bandwidth for everyone, lets everyone have something, and makes almost every happy.

Why should a Linux/BSD distribution that cannot afford to host its own file-server or tracker have such an important service taken away from them.

1. OSS software can be released anonymously, and has been in the past: no one can be sued.

2. Bringing down a decentralized network is next to impossible, short of killing the whole IP infrastructure.

3. ISPs can’t block stuff, if it piggy-backs on top of a popular protocol, say, HTTPS, as it would hurt big and small eCommerce sites.

[Actually, they were acting as ISPs. As we revealed (with an english language exclusive) last Friday, they won't attempt to host it, until they have some MP's in the Swedish Parliament - TF]

This isn’t an end solution but its does bring the cat and mouse game to a new level. Its a lot harder to bring down the network because you have to sue the software distributors and get the Isp’s to block the network.
