Freenet 0.5.2 Released
FurbyXL writes "With the RIAA roaring to grab peer-to-peer users by their IP addresses, Freenet - fully anonymized production and consumption of content - is gaining renewed attention. Articles in New Scientist, ZDNet UK, Wired and CNET (and here) set a somewhat typical context for Freenets major release 0.52. Significant performance improvements through NIO-based messaging, probabilistic caching etc. should provide increased rest to Chinese dissidents, but may finally wake-up the RIAA's Matt Oppenheim..." The announcement on the Freenet home page lists several improvements found in the new version: "a new NIO technology that brings improved performance using less CPU and system resources," "Individual nodes are now more efficient," "the speed and routing of the entire network have significantly improved," probabilistic caching, user interface improvements, and more.
First post.
Oh, yeah.
Freenet rules.
this is not freshmeat post .... in quite a while!
See topic
karma whore alert!
You are evil ... yes... you!
... ok?
admit it
Yeah, that would make it real nice and easy for us all to steal music and pirate software. Super! How "Insightful" of you!
The crtc is what prevents direct tv in canada, at least with out giving tribute to canada's 3 million dollar welfare elite. Stack it or get rid of it, deregulate canadian liberal broadcasting censorship.
I just spent a week watch american tv south of the boarder. Seeing the counter of american liberal media was refreshing
just shut up and let me enjoy my cheap laugh. I'm sorry if the entire concept of a pun is cliche in your book. If the fact that freenet hiding behing its privacy features to circumvent copyright enforcement is getting old then what are you doing here in the first place?
I was going to post AC, but I'll take the karma hit to prove i'm not the parent poster.
Wouldn't it be funny, then, if a child predator stored pictures of your own children having sex on your own computer! :)
goto your preferences and put a negative adjustment on funny, if you think our jokes are that bad.
I thought it was pretty funny, you probably think robin williams is funny
bite my glorious golden ass.
If I say that you made a dumb mistake, that doesn't mean that I think you are dumb. When I said "You are being obtuse" , I meant your comment was obtuse. I have no idea if you are obtuse all the time, that is what I meant by don't take it personally.
In the post above you mentioned:
I did not conclude that anyone using Freenet could be sued
But in your first post you wrote:
While the RIAA can sue anyone they want, realistically I don't think their case would hold a drop of water if they just decided to sue anyone (or everyone) who uses freenet. And I am having a hard time believing that you truly believe that a lawsuit against any/all freenet users would stand a chance, or maybe you're just playing Devil's advocate, I can't tell.
