  1. You don't need The Pirate Bay or BitTorrent by Orion+Blastar · · Score: 2, Informative · on Pirate Bay Closure Sparked P2P Explosion

    You want free videos:

    http://www.tioti.com/
    http://quicksilverscreen.com/
    http://www.veoh.com/
    http://www.hulu.com/
    http://www.alluc.org/

    I haven't checked them all but most of them I checked were legal, and Quicksilverscreen and TIOTI are people that share their videos via the web site that may be grayware and not 100% legal but it is like them taping a VHS tape and sharing it with you.

    here is a link to tens of thousands of free music links mostly by third party artists who don't have a distributor and share their music via the Internet.

    If you are going to use BitTorrent why not find free and legal torrents to use with it and avoid the piracy.

  2. OMG OMG OMG OMG by GeneralPayne · · Score: 0 · on NBC Still Down On P2P But Plans To Use It Themselves

    P2P protocols themselves disrupt the Internet by passing bandwidth costs from content owners onto ISPs. Cotton told the FCC in a recent filing, "P2P applications shift the costs of centralized storage and distribution to end users and their broadband network providers." In addition, installing P2P apps "can slow down the processing speed of [consumers'] computers, open up the contents of their hard drives to third parties and expose them to potential copyright liability," the NBC filing noted. Worse, P2P protocols "exacerbate the congestion" that Comcast's RST packet solution attempts to solve.
    OMG is this really true!?? OMG, OMG, OMG, I'm going have to uninstall all of those nasty P2P programs and quit visiting sites like Surf the Channel and QuicksilverScreen and Stage 66, OMFG, I've got to quit using VEOH TV, VUSE, MIRO. Damn now all I've got is the friggin telly. 125 channels of crap that I have to wait on their schedule to watch what I like. SHITE.

  4. Also illegal in the US - according to FOX by tttonyyy · · Score: 3, Interesting · on Australia Rules Linking to Copyright Material Also Illegal

    A few weeks ago Fox threatened Quicksilverscreen (and Quicksilverscreen's ISP) with a takedown notice. Not because Quicksilverscreen served any infringing material, but because it linked to it on YouTube (amongst others).

    So is Australia setting the precident for the US? I hope not.

  5. Missing the important news by tttonyyy · · Score: 4, Informative · on Our Love/Hate Relationship With Wikipedia

    Slashdot, in true tradition, misses the current happenings in Wikipedia world.

    The big story at the moment about linking to external videos on YouTube (and other video sources).

    This is all started with Fox serving takedown notices to Quicksilverscreen for linking to YouTube videos, under the assertion that linking to copyright infringing material is, in itself, illegal. Hence the repercussions for Wikipedia (and, pretty much any site governed by US law).

    C'mon slashdot, keep up!
