Kenny, I think that you, I and the whole lot of us need to get behind Freenet.com, and the Freenet protocol. Gnutella has one large, huge hole, in that you can be identified by your IP address when sharing files. That is not the case on Freenet. Unfortunately, Freenet is betaware right now. But with some support, my guess it could move ahead and become truely the Monster that Ate Hollywierd. (Think "The Blob".)

I, like many of you, share my downloads. Today, I recieved a evil snail mail letter from the Motion Picture Association of America demanding that I stop sharing copyrighted material, i.e. 3 Simpson Episodes. I am new to g-net, and though I am in the computer business, my knowlege of this new peer to peer network is weak. 1. Can an anonymizer block my IP address,
2. Have any of you recieved warnings.
I went ahead and encrypted my files in a method that GOD could not read just to be safe, especially questionable porn, etc  (I use my own program as I am a Ph.D in Mathematics and trust only myself). Let me hear from you. |
