I've never allowed links to personal sites in comment posts. I have enough trouble with comment spam as it is. But if you think it's essential, send it to me and I'll put it back in. Cheers! @Tom:

The second to last sentence doesnt make sense without the link you removed. Where’s the link Jon? The second to last sentence doesnt make sense without the link you removed.

I wrote about this a few months ago. Each push from the content industry has advanced but complicated file sharing and made it that little harder to intercept, to filter, to throttle. Obfuscation is now the standard. Some P2P clients are now running 128 bit encryption via cache servers. The only people that are getting "caught" by the RIAA are those that : a. Dont care. b. Cant be bothered. c. Dont RTFM. d. Cant speak english and cant RTFM I advised the licensing bodies in Australia 11 months ago that if they didnt implement a fair P2P user pays policy, within six months half of the file sharers would just disappear. Anyone keeping track of the numbers would agree with me I believe that visible file sharing has dropped dramatically over the last nine months. Although some of it is actually due to high bandwidth nocap delivery of streaming content (Hulu etc), and some of it due to the plethora of new games on facebook, there is still a growing file sharing user base (however growth has slowed when pegged to the population), however, they are to all intents and purposes invisible. Honestly, the British secret service are the first people who have figured this out. TTF. Sorry guys this a hobby horse of mine. When the solution creates a problem that's greater than original problem it's time to return tot he drawing board. When Universities develop technologically sound and easy to implement alternatives to standard TCP-IP Internet protocols, and release the source code in the public domain, then I say - It's time to back off file sharing before the whole world disappears into a mobile DNS peer to peer haven that can only be cracked if you are invited to join. For those that want a play (and are quite technical - i.e.: understand the concept of DNS and Bind.) To me the next iteration of P2P will be local wireless with P2PDNS, neighbourhood only - by invitation only and synched with your phone. (Boy Maccas and Starbucks are sure going to get hit with bandwidth bills when this takes off.) However for the moment 802.11 b/g on a mobile drains the battery too fast.) At last – somebody’s thinking.
