Default Re: Researchers To Release an Anonymous BitTorrent Client

Here is the real result of the fight against piracy. Every time something gets taken to court, not just those in court are referencing the legal actions and outcomes. It is precisely what drove decentralization and new clients and methods of use.

Each time the court makes a ruling or a decision they expose where it is ok and where the line is. After that new methods based on past rulings come to be. Since IPs have become so important to identification, if you remove that information from passage, it becomes much harder to use that method to find filesharers.

What will happen, is that many folks will get blamed for file share that never did it. Not that is something new. Most of this stuff that comes up with harvesting of IPs is automated. That's why dead grandmothers have been charged with infringement, printers, network nodes, wifi spots have all been accused of file sharing. Beyond the software harvesting, no one is at the wheel with any common sense. No one is checking.

The killer that hung Napster was centralization. That they had control over the data. This drove decentralization with no one controlling all the data. Now anonymity is bubbling to the surface and the whack-a-mole continues.

How much money would the RIAA have now saved had it never sought all the court actions it's attempted to have done? Not to mention that lobbying is an expensive process to begin with. But the RIAA never goes to court with a local lawyer, Nope they use high price teams of lawyers. When they go to work, white is black, and the sky is in danger for falling for all time.
