Dear Steve,
Do you understand that imposing Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) is unethical? That attempting to control our computers and electronic devices to monitor what we do with digital files is wrong and a danger to society?
The problem for DRM proponents is that DRM doesn't work as advertised - and you are helping perpetuate a lie. We know you know this, you've said as much about music and DRM yourself. So why do you persist in touting DRM for video?

Hi,
I just wanted to add, that swarming is included in Gnutella since 2003 or something, and that it already achieved everything back then that the "new trackerless torrents" achieve today.
If you want easy to read information which doesn't need a coder to understand it, just have a look at Gnutella For Users: A guide to the changes in Gnutella for non-programmers.

One day the silver kit asked the grey one:
“Who made the light, which brightens our singing place?”
The grey one looked at it lovingly and asked the kit to sit with him, for he would tell a story from the old days when the tribe was young.
“Once there was a time, when the world was light and happiness. During the day the sun shone on the savannah, and at night the moon cast the grass in a silver sheen.
You might have read in some (almost ancient) papers, that a network like Gnutella can't scale. So I want to show you, why the current Version of Gnutella does scale, and does it well.
In earlier versions, up to v0.4, Gnutella was a a pure broadcast network. That means, that every search request did reach every participant, so the number of search requests hitting each node was for an optimal network exactly equal to the number of requests, made by nodes who were in the network. And you can see easily why that can't scale.
But that was only true for Gnutella 0.4.
In the current incarnation of Gnutella (Gnutella 0.6), Gnutella is no longer a pure Broadcast network. Instead, only the smallest percentage of the traffic is done via broadcast.

As I see it, the only way the authorities did track him was due to his use of p2p-networks.
At the moment, technology makes it relatively easy for the police to track hard criminals in p2p-networks, but it also allows people to do small infringements rather safely (just like people don't stop at red traffic lights when there is no car in sight),
So I'd think the current state quite ideal.
Here you can find my english pages. When there are enough of them, they might get the same or a similar structure as the german ones.

This is the first song I ever wrote myself, text melody and guitar, and I am still not quite satisfied with the way I can play it.

It misses a violin. (I played it once together with a fiddler, and it was exactly what I imagined. But I had no recording accessories at hand at that time, and I'm sad we weren't able to play together more often... I hope you still like it the way it is now!)
