Mr Gehorsam said the world being created will not be a game but instead will be a "massively multi-user persistent environment" that will model real world physics as closely as possible.
Gehorsam is German and means dutiful, obedient, submissive (taken from leo.org)
So it's like calling the evil guy "Mr. Evil"
there was filesharing before napster, there was peer-to-peer before gnutella, so what. I'm not talking about enforced ratios here, since I would like to see it solved through social interaction.
i imagine a world where there are going to be waste networks in dorms, at workplaces, schools wherever and it is going to be terribly hard to cut it off.
Anyway waste or not waste, I believe this going to be the future, community based small networks of filesharers, based on specialties whereby groups are looseley connected to a bigger net.
Just look at things like sharereactor, maybe i should not have written minidonkeys but minireactors (you know they are going to power your ipod, one day)
I'm suprised no one has mentioned the obvious. This is a terrible blow to the RIAA and the all the people who have been trying to sue filesharers into oblivion.
There are two uses I see for this: There are going to be groups of people dedicated to one theme, for example, Horror Movies, or Horror Movies with mutant bees, sharing all their Horror Movies, you will need a certain ammount of Horror Movie Uploads for Downloads and noone will ever be to know you had Queen Bee 1-3.
If you replace Horror with new release you get lots of small miniDonkeys, many interconnected and unstoppable.
I'm convinced this is a revolution in filesharing because it solves the two biggest Problems filesharing has, crappy downloads and getting sued. The downloads will be of really good quality beacause you will be sharing with friends of people you know from chatting and if the put crap in their upload directory they won't be one of your cirle of friends much longer.
Getting sued is obvious, noone will be able to tell what you are doing (the might be able to guess that all those people on cable are not running a vpn yet) as just your circle of friends know. There is still the possibility that one of your friends is a traitor but i would call that a rare chance.
