Damnit Vinnie, go get a lawyer and quit trying to do this legal stuff yourself.
Everyone is missing the big problem, we would have to depend on your ability to PROTECT YOUR EULA.
So I want to know, how many $$ did you put in a fund to protect all of us in a law suit against the RIAA enforcing your EULA? If they violate your EULA and you win against them, does that mean the copyright violation charges against one of us are dropped or do we still get fined and you walk away with a million in settlement?
Now if you put in several hundred thousand to protect us all, I would be happy to jump on the BearShare BandWagon and become a BearShare BrownNoser and even donate some $$ to the separate TRUST FUND managed by a neutral party.
What would actually hold up in court is if every BearShare node on the [now] separate BearShare Network had the ability to allow PASS THROUGH file transfer, and no one can tell if it's being used or not, so then you have no idea where the file originated, and can claim in court "that file could have come from anywhere, not just my node".
(for those of you who are about to post "that would slow down the network", don't bother posting and use the search button)
How do you justify that feature? Oppressed countries like China need it bad.
Go pass that by your lawyer after you get one that is, and all you who have
(come with) this idea should too.
Why isn't file pass through working in this version of BearShare?
