What exactly would be centralized in the network? Does the kazaa network basically just serve as a hub for the users? Seems plausible, given that they had that ability to block out morpheus...but still, by centralized server, are they just talking about how users can connect by logging into the network to others or as in terms of what?
They could always destroy the internet;) I bet the man and big business sure would love to see that. How do they handle the spread of warez? They could have a system like that, although I'm pretty ignorant in that area. I just wonder how they plan on shutting this all down. Seems like quite a daunting task, unless they plan on buying all the companies out then shutting them down like mentioned in another post. Who knows?
I'm curious though...can these free ones ever be stopped indefinitely? It seems like more and more pop up whenever one dies. Is it even technologically possible to stop peer to peer file sharing that will filter out copyrighted files while leaving non-copyrighted files in the bin for the picking?
Poor guys at Napster...how does a bankrupt company turn down $16 million to begin with? Did the deal free them of all debt from them? It's like telling a bum that he could sell his shirt for $200.
Seems like they're kicking a dead horse with this one...
This is what I was wondering. Would it work as insulation or would it actually be more of a kind of anti-insulation? I'm not too familiar with the laws of thermodynamics or whatever.
Wouldn't you have to worry about...perhaps a bullet shot through your suit, then even perhaps rain pouring into that hole in your suit, which just happens to conduct electricty? Doesn't seem too bright to me from a military point of view. I'd just do it for the hell of it though, just to see if it could be done. Imagine a guy coated in this foam and then on top of that, wrapped in this electricity conducting fabric with tons of volts pouring through him. Now that would be quite the weapon: a walking, talking, tesla coil.

Britney's label would probably have a problem with that however, now that they're paranoid of him stealing the "music". ;)
I doubt they've been worried about dealing with developing new software anymore, due to that they have been busy dealing with the courts.
We'll have to start downloading copies of N4p5t3r from kazaa as soon as bmg takes over. ;)
Oklahoma!? I bet they have all the girls on the beaches there! I'll give you some mp3s for it ;)
I almost wonder if he's sick of music by now...I know I'd walk around with ear plugs after going through what he has been through.

That would make tons of sense if only napster was still the big dog, but a nice perspective to look at business none the less.

But hey, it has a cool looking box so that makes it all ok, right?

Crashes reliably...hahaha. That's the greatest thing I've heard for a while. Now, wasn't Back Orifice similar to what you guys are talking about?
