eDonkey Beats BitTorrent on P2P War

[My Other Side of the Stories] eDonkey, its rival who actually have more power to search for content, but similar speedy download features, is now used more than BitTorrent. eDonkey’s rise comes after highly publicized Hollywood legal campaigns against BitTorrent hubs, which have resulted in the disappearance of many of the most popular sites using that technology.

eDonkey Taken Over From BitTorrent As The Most Popular P2P Network

[Connected Internet News | Broadband Mobile Gaming News] Technorati Tags : eDonkey, Overnet, BitTorrent, P2P, Filesharing, online+downloads Last year, BitTorrent traffic accounted for nearly half of all Internet traffic, but in response to Hollywood going after BitTorrent users, many users have switched to eDonkey which is now the number one filesharing network. eDonkey works via a decentralized server, which provides additional anonymity for file sharers, although P2P users have already proved unlikely to be dissuaded by the threat of prosecution.

MINING YOUR BEHAVIOUR

[No Rock&Roll Fun] MINING YOUR BEHAVIOUR We've heard before that record labels are busily sifting data from filesharing networks as a form of marketing research - conferring legitimacy on a practice they supposedly decry - but the Pitchfork report on how they use that data is still pretty eye-opening: To take an example, here's what I can tell you about the Arcade Fire, thanks to a BigChampagne report. The week of August 4, 1.3% of filesharers-- maybe 200,000-300,000 people-- were sharing the band's music, up from just .

On Mp3s: Why The Free Music Revolt Should End

[The Neo-Communist] These days people prefer to use the acronym "MP3." MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group. You may have run into the sister format for videos called "MPEG" or "MPG." It used to be only MP2s (MPEG-LAYER 2) that were on the market, but they were much bulkier and rarely could a person copy a full song into this format.

Giganews increase binary retention to 50 days!

[Connected Internet News | Broadband Mobile Gaming News] My ISP only has about 4 days retention and doesn't cover a 1/3 of the groups Giga does but that still equates to Terabytes of storage. I'm still amazed that more broadband users don't use newsgroups as they are not that hard to configure and use once you work it out.

Is It Possible To Download Music Legally Anymore?

[Entertainment Sports and Hollywood Blog, including Movie stars Angelina Jolie, Jessica Simpson, Jessica Alba] As music sites such as Napster and Kazaa and many more have attempted to create sites to download music for free, they have just increased the problem that much more. Some of the users of these programs have learned the hard way that music does not come free, as they were sued for illegally downloading music.

Music and Video Downloads ”” It’s What Consumers Want

[Digital-IQ | Digital Media and eLearning Blog] Amid the gloating in Hollywood over the Grokster ruling were scattered signs that entertainment companies may in fact be starting to grasp that message. In a document posted to the MPAA’s Web site, the association predicted that consumers ‘will be the ultimate winners as they will have more access to the high-quality content they desire, and it will be available across a wider array of devices and platforms.’

Apple's Intel OSX has DRM, has been leaked to torrent sites, and is likely hackable.

[Richard Bluestein's Weblog] It's said that the OS calls AppleTPMACPI.kext (ie a system extension) on boot up and anyone attempting to run without the appropriate hardware. The good news is that hackers believe they have a work around and that the OS itself is available via BitTorrent, so it's just a matter of time before the DRM is hacked.
