OneSwarm Basically, P2P but with extra levels of security for the user. http://oneswarm.cs.washington.edu/screencasts_overview.html#screencast_overview With the Piratebay getting done this week, someone on theregister made the comment "If P2P was legal - in controlled, licensed situations - these coders (writing/coding the hacks to get around the laws) would be coding great music services. If you think Pirate Bay or Rapidshare is as good as music services can get, you are suffering from a severely crippled imagination" which is a good point - instead of FIGHTING what you can't control all the way and spending large amounts of money in prosecutions - make money from it! some forward thinking is needed
I still wouldent trust P2P sofware/sites, i'm more along the lines of getting stuff through FTP. and rapidshare provides me with what i want, when i need it
I wouldn't trust FTP either. Most FTP servers log every connection and file retrieved. I had a deeks at my FTP logs recently and on the old server the logs stretch back as far as when the server was switched on for the first time in 2006. You can see every file uploaded, downloaded, and by who. I can even see Nass uploading his Ibiza and foundation videos, and Mark Maitland setting up his promo mixes. Most servers do this by default.
Nothing on the internet is anonymous, downloading stuff illegally s just the risk you take no matter which method you use
