What's yor fave P2P

NONE!

I don't appreciate spyware and viruses. Nothing is for free anyways. When will people learn... You play, you pay.
 
Real men purchase music, movies and software. I've considered bittorrent for linux ISO's since everyone says that's why p2p exists... but my ISP has local servers with all the latest ISO's that'll max my connection out so p2p is worthless there.

So um.. yes... I hear kazaa media desktop is really really good and all cool people use it :)
 
I use winmx for all my non-warez downloading needs like.... um.... well I can't think of anything right now but....uhhh....mmm :eek:
 
Azureus BT, because I download anime like a madman. Just wish I had more time to watch it all.

Im glad they are "your" TV shows Leslie :rolleyes:
because if they werent
Id have to warn you regarding pirating copyrighted material
and specifically confessing to it here :rolleyes:

just to refresh everyones memory
discussing P2P applications is within the rules
discussing the illegal use of such applications
(yes even if your Canadian, the server is in Texas)
will get this thread locked,
and the member posting such information will at the very least
become this weeks poster child for close supervision,
if they happen to be a past recipient of such an honor
they might get a cheerful PM from MajorDomo or Lethal :eek:
or graduate to burnt bread status :p
 
Tv shows as in anime (the unlicensed variety). I got an addiction and I need my fix. Ever since coming back to college though, no anime cause no bt.

What about this eMule?

I need to download something for my girlfriend. She is gonna bitch me out and want Kazaa Lite because she won't want to learn another program.

That BitTorrent and MUTE looks appealing.

The Freenet... That isn't a p2p, but some form of encryption to goalong with MUTE or BitTorrent?

What is up with the winmx?

Oh..

All she wants Kazaa for is music. She just downloads asstons of music, so perhaps there is a better suited p2p.

I just wanna go kill some people in UT and UO but I have to use my investigative and inquiring prowess to locate a version of Kazaa lite that is legal and free... lol...:rolleyes:

If this was me guys I woudl take your advice... shit... I wouldn't be downloading this stuff... this is the old lady we talking baout here... It's cold in Portland... I wanna sleep in bed tonight :D
 
Freenet is the grandaddy of secure P2P
Freenet FAQ

What is Freenet?
Freenet is free software designed to ensure true freedom of communication over the Internet. It allows anybody to publish and read information with complete anonymity. Nobody controls Freenet, not even its creators, meaning that the system is not vulnerable to manipulation or shutdown. Freenet is also very efficient in how it deals with information, adaptively replicating content in response to demand


the next gen of P2P (Mute, Waste ect) owe alot to it
 
This is my current understanding.

Whatever p2p you use be it eMule, MUTE, BitTorrent, WinMX, Freenet or Kazaa/Kazaalite, you are completely susceptable to viruii/worms/trojans ect..?

Meaning that you are responsible for cleaning whatever mess you might download from someone.

Or did I misunderstand and all this security stuff also helps protect aganst files infected with naughty things?

So basically the only reason to use Freenet or MUTE over Kazaa or Kazaalite and or WinMX is because the encryption is more difficult to nail someone who is downloading music and files?

I spoke with her onmy lunchbreak, she said that she hated WinMX she coudln't figure out how to use it. :rolleyes:

Teachingher how to use Freenet ain't happening. :rolleyes:

She told me Kazaa lite was based in the UK and wasn't illegal to download files with Kazaa lite. I don't think this is correct from what I have been reading, much less can you really find an up to date Kazaa lite for free.

Maybe I should go to college, quit tokin' for awhile, join that Def Con thing and try and make a difference in the world in regards to the freedom on the internet.

I especially enjoyed the ethics lesson from the freenet page. The child pornography being freedom of speech and if you are a true advocate of freedom of speech you woudl seemingly have to allow it on your HDD... LOL!!!

Man... I study philosophy and I want to write a book on the human subconscious, i am writing it right now. I am just a high school dropout though. Perhaps I could attempt a job in web journalism after I get a degree.

This P2P thing is secured in so much red tape it isn't even funny. The bureaucracy of it all...:rolleyes:

Yes Nietzsche, god is truly dead!
 
well the point is you wouldnt know its on your HDD
since its encrypted

freedom of speech includes everything, if you where able to block child pornography, youd also be able to block dissent to a corrupt government ect. (and Freenet is widely used for such things)
besides encrypting photographs within photographs is childs play
you could already have child pornography and not know it
or g0atse :eek:

like anything you download (and many places you go, downloading hypertext activeX VBS ect)
its your responsibility to secure your own system

as long as there is mankind, there will be secrets
and no law is ever going to change that

Sounds more like the thing that evolved and destroyed the world in "The Terminator" than P2P software :eek:
 
I always thought that copies of broadcast material ( tv shows, movies on tv, radio) were legal to copy. Is it just the sharing part? I dont think I broke the law recording my fav show, but if I give it to someone else ( who can freely record the same broadcast) do I go too far?:confused:

you have hit the nail on the head
several cases between the content creators (RIAA MPAA and their ilk) vs the Video Recording Industry, Video Rental Industry ect boil down to this

while it is legal for you to record broadcast TV, you "own" nothing other than the tape (but not what is on it), and cant distribute it.
The recording, so that you can watch it at a time of your choosing is covered under the "fair use" part of copyright law, however distribution or even loaning such material without paying a fee to the creators (or more acturately the owners of the copyright, which is rarely if ever the artists) constitutes a copyright infringment, thus the FBI warnings at the front of any video about duplication or public showing

the big video rental chains eventually caved and started to pay royalties

what exactly are the boundaries of fair use is currently being redefined by the courts case by case (and balanced against other rights such as the property rights of the creator\owner and the rights to privacy in the P2P arena)

Stanford Copyright Law & Fair Use Center

which just so happens to have a link to
Free Culture by Stanford Law Professor Lawrence Lessig

Professor Lessig shows us that while new technologies always lead to new laws, never before have the big cultural monopolists used the fear created by new technologies, specifically the Internet, to shrink the public domain of ideas, even as the same corporations use the same technologies to control more and more what we can and can't do with culture. As more and more culture becomes digitized, more and more becomes controllable, even as laws are being toughened at the behest of the big media groups. What's at stake is our freedom--freedom to create, freedom to build, and ultimately, freedom to imagine. A free downloadable version of Professor Lessig's new book is available at http://free-culture.org/freecontent/
