I will be the first to admit that cnet does some stupid stuff, however, in this case, if you actually follow the links, in the cnet article, you will find that someone IS proposing this project, and most of the cnet article is just analysis (crappy analysis) of this concept. I fail to see how cnet could be guilty of any crime worse than simply poor analysis with this acticle
isn't mpeg4 strictly for compressing 2-D video? this thing sounds more like it's for compressing 3d meshes & stuff... and meshes are almost always smaller than the rendered videos of them... so of course this thing gets better compression!
this is exactly the sort of thing Freenet is intended for... whether it's actually ready to do it or not, I'm not sure... can anyone else judge whether freenet would be useful for this yet?
correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this exactly what process tree is supposed to do? (eventually) they will essentially buy your extra processor cycles...
with a soundcard that has digital in and out, couldn't you just loop it back into the soundcard, record it, and not have any degredation in the first place?
there was a discussion about this on k5 a while ago (I don't have time to come up with an actual link right now) the idea was to cut everything related to ICANN out of the loop completely
I don't think that's proven yet... it's quite possible to have proprietary formats on standard media... (ever try to read a mac disk on your pc without all kinds of crazy software?)
I don't see that macnn necessarily did break the rules of the beta license... was macnn a beta tester, or did a beta tester simply give macnn the info? if so, then it was whoever gave macnn the data that broke the rules, not macnn
It is very simple to write programs that record and playback keystrokes, it is even possible for them to write directly into the keyboard buffer... it seems to me that a spoofing program for this would be exceptionally simple it would just simplify piracy...you wouldn't even have to download the whole song from those slow servers any more... you could just download a key from some guys warez server, and the song from the music company's multiple fiber line...

I wonder about the corrolation between this article and this one... http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=0 0/08/04/1824247

I just want to see some stupid ass notice stuff about his company on slashdot & pay that company to research Anonymous Coward.
nsi has registered nsisucks.com, and made it not work. 'nuff said

ssh is kinda an encrypted telnet, with extra features see http://www.ssh.org and http://www.openssh.org
there was a discussion about this on k5 a while ago (I don't have time to come up with an actual link right now) the idea was to cut everything related to ICANN out of the loop completely
so isn't this sort of thing supposed to go through ICANN now? is anyone else curious about what (if any) ICANN's position on this case is?
you're giving them a lot of credit... I think it'll fall apart....in workshop that they build it in
I fail to see how this would create a searchable document... please elabourate
