FTA: “Cyberlockers are becoming increasingly popular and may have overtaken torrents as the file-share medium of choice.”

Umm yeeeah.. I’m just so sure that file hosts are now the most popular way to share.. Bittorrent has just now suddenly become obsolete..
The piratebay was pretty cool while it lasted..
Good bye torrents, you will always hold a special place in my heart..

If that is their business model, it should be their responsibility to have the capacity to do their due diligence.

Airports have to pay for screeners, xray machines, etc. FedEx pays for random package inspection. YouTube pays to check fingerprints for every minute of content uploaded.

Rapidshare can pay for the hard drive space to handle all those terabytes of data, but they can’t add a few dozen (or hundred) quadcore CPU’s to do automated checks?

Bull. More like they don’t want to.

Fingerprinting a set work only tells you that this work is authentic. In order to filter works which are unauthentic (i.e. pirated or converted copies) you need to make a rule which states that no file without a fingerprint is legitimate.

Are you crazy? No you don’t have to make “all unprinted files illegal”.

The copyright holder would at most have to sit down and submit the pirate copies of their product to the fingerprinting company.

It would take a bit of work on their part, but after that it’s all automatic.

In many cases, one fingerprint would take care of every pirate copy. For example, an e-book fingerprint just has to read random unique passages of the text to identify. It can do so across file formats and file versions.

If you can see what it is, the fingerprint can see.

The technology is already here. The will is not.

WTF are you talking about? VPN acts like a proxy so your can’t see you are connecting to MegaUpload.

He’s right, the whole point of using a VPN is for you ISP not to see what the user is doing, in this way users can explore the internet uncensored, or with limitation from the VPN-host

F**k bandwidth-friendly, as you have written – there is no need to upload stuff, thus (at least in my country) downloading from such sites is compeletly legal… We are forbidden to share, but allowed to download from a ‘friend’. So, by using Torrents, there is some risk, because if you are not uploading-you are not downoading. Here it is safe…

Beside MU, other popular hosts (since RS died) are:
hotfile
filesonic
fileserve

These three are the most popular now, well at least in my country. You have to find a forum dedicated to the topic. There are tons of such.

Yes. This should work if the route to the VPN provider does not travel over Cogent or TATA.
