New Wave Of File-Sharing Embraces Secrecy

twin-cam writes "There's an article over at The Inquirer that software developers are designing secret file sharing networks that will make it harder for the music and file industry to prove cases of piracy. According to Reuters, three file sharing networks are being planned which its users think will make it a lot harder for music industry to track and charge people on their networks. The first is Optisoft which runs on Blubster and Piolet, music-only file-sharing networks. Only a matter of time before the RIAA requests a data dump from the ISPs or just sues everyone using their network."

"Anonymous file sharing has driven us to this," A spokesman said, "We don't know who is pirating music now, so we'll just sue everybody, just make sure we have all our bases covered."
