BSA Reacts to 'New' BitTorrent

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the usual-response dept.

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.'"

    Quick solution: don't use threaded connections. Use NIO instead. I will look in to this.
    Thank you Mr. Java Guru, but I2P doesn't use NIO--mainly because it needs to run on F/OSS JVMs, and not all of these have a full NIO implementation yet.
    I2P is an open source project. "Luring" people is essential for its growth. If I2P core team did not want outside input they should close the project until a future time. This is unlikely their belief since they are posting bounties and requesting peer review to reach version 1.
    Thanks for your opinion, but you are not part of the I2P developer team and hence you should not presume to speak for us. The project lead, jrandom, has specifically requested no Slashdot exposure for I2P until some scalability issues are sorted out. Now you know.
    Sorry. Already joined. I even download the source and starting to fiddle. I just can't help myself. As for official posting, you can do a slashdot search where I2P has been mentioned several times in the past. Thats how I found out about it to begin with.
    Irrelevant. That someone spilled the beans does not mean we authorized it, nor that we welcome the masses just yet. I2P is not ready.
