Encouraging File Sharing for Cash

[Eamonn's Home] Video creators upload their files, the company adds an advertisement, and then splits the resulting ad revenue with the creator. The files can be distributed everywhere, using whatever software, because the ads are embedded in the file itself.

At his own request: apparently, the recent lawsuits against KazAa (successful in Australia) have left him not just fearing arrest if he sets foot on American soil, but convinced that as soon as he actually gets any money, American copyright lawyers will descend on him like vultures, and shred his pockets for it.

Something Like a Mahna Mahna

[McBoozo's Drunken Poetry Jam] I was born a small circus clown in the upper midwest U.S. It was a cold, windy night and my mother's tentacles kept me from freezing to death, fortunately my father was a pygmy eskimo so it was in my blood to survive nights like these! I didn't get to spend much time with my parents as a child, for I was abducted by a clan of intergalactic space monkeys (dressed like Elvis impersonators too) and forced into a life of driving tiny cars, wearing flowers that squirted people, and doing things that really hurt me but kept the audience laughing.

Cost Tradeoffs of P2P

[Freedom to Tinker] We’ve agreed, I think, that large-scale online services will be designed as distributed systems, and the basic design choice is between a centrally-controlled design, where most of the work is done by machines owned by a single entity, and a peer-to-peer design, where most of the work is done by end users’ machines.

Tidy Up iTunes MP3 collection - Fix ID3 tags and more

[Connected Internet News | Broadband Mobile Gaming News] A lot of my tracks have weird or missing track details, errors and for some tracks I have no ID3 tags at all for the artist and album. I also have a lot of duplicates which have happened from mistakenly importing the same CD twice, or when I've added a friends collection to mine and they have the same track but with a slightly different filename, so it slipped through the net.

Idea to help peer to peer downloads

[I Am Chris Nolan.ca] I'm thinking in a client app like FireANT for video or other peer to peer solutions where people don't like to be confined to the original naming convents used by the torrent author. Single files aren't too bad, but when you get to a collection that includes lots of files sometimes it's a pain to keep the torrent open when you'd rather move the files around on your hard drive, perhaps into different folders?
