Sharman did not start the DCIA. It was Derek Broes who know is at Microsoft In believe.

err, wouldn;t the riaa/mpaa/antichrist incorporated pretty much own sharman after the australian legal bitchslap they got? Would the riaa/otherjackasses own trunames/altnet as well?

donkey = slow, torrent = fast, next gen ? Hmm I suggest “lightspeed”
Does anyone seriously believe the edonkey thing has any future ? Really it’s a pain-in-the-ass and torrent + usenet is far superior and they’re not controlled by any shitty company…

This to me is actually a silver lining. As more of the commercial apps go the pay to peer route, more and more users will move to opensource, adware free, spyware free, apps that provide better protections.

Maybe some of the fine apps developed in opensource that have starved for lack of users will finally take off.

By getting rid of the more dumbed down apps, users will be forced to move to apps with a longer learning curve.
This could lead to a smarter p2p community all around.

the problem is that kazaa does not use sha-1 hashing even if sha-1 has been broken you still need a major supercomputer to do it. Edonkey is not merging with kazaa. the dcia trade and lobbying group

Most of the commercial p2p industry is going to move to a pay to peer model in the near future, its inevitable now they cant really generate revenue from Adware or Spyware and they continue to recive legal pressure from the content owners .

Only Open source and Darknet apps will remain true to peer to peer filesharing as we know it .

We will have at least one filesharing system that will remain free.

So does this mean that the two programs will merge together or Kazaa will become ed2k sh4 hash value or what? I know the sh1 hash has already been broken and thats why their (Sherman’s) network is full of corrupt files.
