Next-gen Copyright-aware P2P System Whitepaper

meier73 writes "A whitepaper has just been released detailing a secure (OpenSSL/digital signatures), copyright-aware P2P network. The paper claims that this system enables legal file trades, something that isn't guaranteed by Kazaa, Morpheus or eDonkey. The whitepaper goes on to state that the long-term goal of this system is to catalog every human creation in existence that can be expressed by a digital medium. Project stats: a super-computing cluster that will scale to more than 900TB of storage, 300M transactions per day and trade music, television, movies and books. Doesn't this constitute a responsible and legitimate use of P2P?"

    2) Say anything you want and noone will give a shit
    3) Perfect democracy!

    France? There not only stealing digital content (P2P) is illegal, the government acts against import of foreign content (movies). Some democracy!
    What free speech? They yet need to get the right to free watching and listening!

    Seriously, get real.
    He's moved out of country because it didn't work out for him - it's easier to get by that way than to stay on and fight for your rights.
    Any foreign country is no less shitty than the U.S.
