Completing BitTorrent Decentralization

Posted by timothy on from the and-for-your-next-project dept.

Njaal writes "With BitTorrent going trackerless, searching for and distributing .torrent files is a natural next step. The Socialized.Net (TSN) is a pure P2P search infrastructure which facilitates P2P searching and distribution of .torrent files. It comes complete with an Azureus (and Firefox) search plugin. TSN is written in Python and is made available under the GPL. Note that this is part of my PhD thesis, and is as such meant as a technology demonstrator."

    And yes, copyright infringement is a form of theft.

    This is not only legally inaccurate, but also an oxymoron. No copyright infringement is not a form of theft, it is a form of unauthorized distribution, copying. Not taking away property of any sort, or if that is not what meet what your definition is, what is it?P
