BSA Reacts to 'New' BitTorrent

An anonymous reader writes "It seems the Business Software Alliance isn't afraid of the new, tracker-less BitTorrent beta. While it concedes it will have to 'regroup', Tarun Sawney, BSA Asia anti-piracy director, said BitTorrent files could still be identified. 'BSA has traditionally sought the assistance of those hosting the actual pirated files. With or without the tracker sites, someone still hosts the infringing files.'"

Re:I2P

[ControlFreal]

Please refrain from mentioning I2P on /. until such time that the UDP transport is fully implemented. Now, with the TCP transport in place, I2P is essentially thread-limited (2 threads per connection) to about 250-300 nodes. Once UDP is in place, the threading issue goes away, and the network will support more users (2 threads for N nodes).

Luring people to I2P now is not useful for development, and not useful for the new people joining: there's hardly anything to be found there yet.

When I2P is ready, the creator will probably arrange a /. announcement. But for now, don't join it yet, and don't announce it here. Thanks.
