i think your missing the point. the grid applications that come bundled with the p2p software run indepedently, what the point is is a p2p grid, a grid that everyone can be a part of and use with equal rights.
this is the point ive been trying to make (i know its completly off topic of grids/p2p) but we live in a democracy! the idea behind a democracy is... that the popular vote is whats accepted... so we should poll everyone in this country.
ok back on topic, i think the whole media sharing thing could be less complex if the goverment would give the artist two options, one: this media that you have produced (name of media here) is free to reproduce and distribute aslong as no profits are made (except by the artist) for the material. two: this material is the property of the artist and cannot be distributed unless the artist receves compensation for every copy distributed... take out the middle man, the RIAA and the Music Lables... there old and pointless. well that is about all i can think of for now...
well i doubt kazaa has a back door, you would think the people at kazaa lite would have found it by now ( k-lite.tk ), i would venture to guess they just slightly modify the FT protocol so that older versions of kazaa or other FT clients wont work anymore... possibly speficaly excluding clients that identify themselves as one sharman wants to boot from the network. as soon as all the supernodes upgrade to the new version. bam! booted off the network. any other ideas? (atleast hopefully sharman isnt dumb enough to include a backdoor in public software!)
hehe, i was just about to reply to this w/o reading the other reply, i was gonna use the borg collective as an example... hehe -.- . and to my knoldage (correct me if im wrong) but grids still use one central master server to conrol all the other work stations connected to the network, the idea of p2p (as we all know) is everyone is equal, so everyone can use the grid whos connected to it.
but on another note (just a thought poped into my head)
wouldnt a p2p grid negat the purpose of a grid? to use the EXTRA resources on the grid? if everyone needed to use these EXTRA resources, wouldnt there not be enough to go around? there would need to be nodes connected that do no work that everyone else could leech off of for the idea to make sence. (i dont know much about gride, i have done.some. research, but have not tried to install or manage one, i do know a good ammount about p2p tho. this is just my view point/questions. id like to hear what the rest of you think...
as a new slashdot user, in my opinion p2p is more than just a pirate central. it seems to me that p2p could be used for many other applications, such as higher fault tollerence on networks. computer A wants to retrive a webpage off computer B, the administrator of computer B accidently kicks the cat5 cable out, uh uo, computer A cant get the webpage. with p2p, every computer on the network could have copies of certin pages on the website, and computer B could be automaticaly redirected to any of these other sources of the same webpage. theres a real world scenario (sort of) that proves p2p isnt just about copyright infiringment.
