Microsoft to offer p2p

http://www.lastrider.com [Technology News] Not undertaking what p2p is doing nowadays but the system is a good idea I would think. Many people have very fast connections and willing to download larger files and this peer-to-peer system works very efficiently for this reason, even if it means downloading legit files and not pirated.

Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.

[Darknet] Story: The Prince of Darknet: Movie executives worry that Hollywood could become the next modern-day Carthage as Internet connections become lightning-fast, computer hard drives bulk up in size, compression technologies improve, and P2P networks become harder to foil. The battle over movie piracy may prove to be even more fierce and intractable than the one being waged in the music world, given Hollywood’s formidable firepower on Capitol Hill and its presence in nearly every aspect of our celebrity-infused culture.

The upper reaches of the network are a "darknet," hidden behind layers of security.

Noosphere.cc[Noosphere.cc] P2P and Human Evolution: Placing Peer to Peer Theory in an ...: The entertainment industry wishes to destroy P2Ptechnology, corporations are in constant tension between the logic of self-unfoldingpeer groups and the profit-driven logic of the feudally-structuredmanagement-by-objectives system, and by the tension between the cooperativeproduction of innovation and its private appropriation. The dot.com crisis of2001 showed how difficult it is for the present system to convert the new usevalue into exchange value, and created an important rift between the affectedknowledge workers and the financial capital, which had taken them on that ride.After the short-term flourishing of greed, they massively turned to the socialsphere, where internet-based innovation not only continued, but it thrived evenmore, but now based on explicit P2P modes of cooperation.

[Integralworld.net] P2P and Human Evolution: Placing Peer to Peer Theory in an ...: So, when I talk, in a optimistic and visionary fashion, about the emergence of P2P and it being the premise of a coming fundamental civilisational change, I can of course also see the terrible trends that are affecting our world: fossil energy depletion, global warming, increased inequality inside and between countries, the tearing apart of the social fabric, the increased psychic insecurity affecting the whole world population, the imposition of a permanent war regime that is dismantling civil rights and re-introducing the systematic use of torture and lifelong imprisonment without trial in the heart of the West, the great extinction affecting biodiversity … All these things are happening, and disheartening, even though counter-trends from civil society are also sometimes hopeful. Certainly, it seems that the power structure of Empire, the new form of global sovereignty, is beyond reform, that it just routs around protest and democracy, making dissent marginal and inconsequential, even as 25 million people were protesting an illegimate war in one single day.

This would put TiVo into direct competition with other companies, like Sony, Hewlett Packard and Microsoft.
