After the show a reporter asked her what she thinks of piracy, and people who download her songs off the Internet. Her response baffled the reporter, as she simply told him: “I think it’s great…” There was an awkward silence for a few seconds, the reporter probably expected to hear something else from her. “Great?,” he said.

“Yeah, I love it. I think it’s brilliant and I’ll tell you why,” Stone continued. “Music should be shared. [...] The only part about music that I dislike is the business that is attached to it. Now, if music is free, then there is no business, there is just music. So, I like it, I think that we should share.”

“It’s ok, if one person buys it, it’s totally cool, burn it up, share it with your friends, I don’t care. I don’t care how you hear it as long as you hear it. As long as you come to my show, and have a great time listening to the live show it’s totally cool. I don’t mind. I’m happy that they hear it.”

Stone went on to say that most artists have probably been “brainwashed” by the record labels, when they discourage their fans from downloading music. Of course, Stone is not the only artist who actually wants people to share their work. Last year rapper 50 Cent made some positive remarks about filesharing, and Nine Inch Nails takes it even further, as they upload their music onto BitTorrent sites themselves.

These artists are spot on, in fact, several studies have shown that artists actually benefit from filesharing. The more music people share, the more CDs they buy and the more concerts they visit.

John Wang, CEO of IAdea Corporation and developer of the new chip said in a response, “This new service architecture is infinitely scalable, delivers faster as more users join, and can be built at a fraction of the cost of a traditional server farm. We see this trend emerging as ‘Web 3.0′ where each consumer becomes part of a universal content storage and delivery system. Our new chip plays part in the new paradigm by making BitTorrent available efficiently and economically. You should not be surprised if you find your next car or cellphone enabled with our technology.”

The processors will be available to hardware manufacturers within a couple of months to embed in existing products such as wireless routers, NAS, mobile phones and DVD players. Last October, BitTorrent Inc announced deals with Asustek Computers, Planex Communication and QNAP Systems to build BitTorrent compatible routers and other devices.

Wrong, when I loaded the torrent file in uTorrent, I noticed that the videoclip was over 1GB! Wait a minute, 1GB for a 5 minute videoclip? That’s over 3MB per second! I know that BitTorrent recently expanded their server park, but this is just a waste of bandwidth. V2 Records probably never heard of “compression” because they offer a whole collection of oversized videoclips.
