It may be a difficult thing to code for but unless Gnutella changes so that the sharers ip address is not know to the receiver then Gunutella will slowly die out. I too like Joakim have had to stop sharing and will only be able to start again when my anonymity is guaranteed. I am sure we are not the only two that have had to stop sharing and the RIAA will be picking us off, at a thousand at a time now that Verizon have been forced to hand over the names of the sharers. The ISPs will only be too pleased to get rid of us, as want users but no traffic. Just blocking known RIAA ip addresses will not work as they can use any ISP and we cannot block the whole of AOL for instance. It may be tricky and will cut down the bandwidth but without it Gunutella is dead. |
