  1. Check out this hosting community ! on Free Podcasting Hosts? · · Score: 1

    For hosting your podcasts if you're a musician you might want to check out http://www.jamendo.com/

    They do RSS, Podcasts, Bittorrent, reviews, etc... Pretty good, even if you just want to listen to some nice free music

  2. Re:Web 2.0 Browser??? on Flock, the Web 2.0 Browser? · · Score: 1

    Actually... Flock is written in XUL and Javascript (and some XML), so you're perfectly right ;-)

  3. Re:breaking torrents? on MD5 Collision Source Code Released · · Score: 1

    actually, bittorrent uses SHA1, so there's no need to worry for now.

  4. cylcic dependencies on EU Record Companies Push to Extend Copyright · · Score: 1

    damn... EU to sync US, US sync EU ?

    debian has cyclic dependencies ?

    copyright has cyclic dependencies ?

    please upgrade your copyright from sarge.

  5. Nonsense story ?! on MPAA Cracking Down on TV Torrent Sites · · Score: 3, Interesting

    TV shows are FREE as beer, but they are the property of their authors or their channels.

    They broadcast them on TV under their terms (ads, logo, ...) for free, but why would that mean that you can download them without their terms ? They don't authorize you to watch the show without complying to their terms. They can.

    People don't understand that. You can argue P2P helps shows. I'm ok with you. Still, it's illegal.

    So please somebody start a company broadcasting TV shows WITH ads under a CC-by-nc-nd license and bittorrent.

    That already exists for music albums : http://www.jamendo.com/ and it rocks !

  6. P2P + UK only ? on British Groups Launch Creative Archive License · · Score: 0, Troll

    One thing doesn't make sense at all :

    Why can't I use material from the Creative Archive overseas?

    The Creative Archive is currently funded only for use within the UK. The BBC's pilot site will be using a technology called GEOIP filtering to ensure that content sourced directly from the BBC will only be available to UK citizens.

    Still, they plan to use P2P. Come on where's the GEOIP feature in BitTorrent ?

  7. Re:The doctor is a cylon on Battlestar Galactica in HD · · Score: 1

    of course he ISN'T a cylon. Take this as 100% granted !

    Have you seen the last episode ? The end with him and Number 6 wouldn't make any sense if he was a cylon, because there's nothing new about union of cylons... he's an human, and that's what's interesting in his relationship with N6.

  8. nice ! on From Archive.org, Free Multimedia Hosting for Life · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's nice to see that free services like that are flourishing...

    jamendo does it too, for CC music albums, and they use bittorrent.

  9. Not better than ... on Buying DRM-Free Songs From the ITMS · · Score: 1

    For really DRM-free songs, check out jamendo.com : It's Creative Commons plus P2P plus Ogg Vorbis !!

  10. brr on Lab-Made Fireball May Be a Black Hole · · Score: 1

    The headline of the next news id "Lab Made into a Black Hole" ...

  11. Answer ? Use legal P2P sites ... on Australian P2P Sites Disappear Overnight · · Score: 1

    ... because they can't shutdown legal Creative Commons licensed materials...

    For a great example of CC + P2P, see jamendo.com

  12. Re:incredible on Microwires Can Replace The DVD-ROM · · Score: 1

    yup I know what it was.. it's just that the sardaukars use to hide them in their hair :)

  13. DL legal stuff please :) on Long-Awaited BitTorrent 4.0 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you want to follow the example of Bram who only downloads legal stuff, you can test your brand new BT 4.0 client with the excellent Wired CD, in Ogg Vorbis :

    Wired CD .torrent

  14. legal music bittorrent website ! on Legal Torrent Sites Help Legitimize BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    there's one more... CC music + BitTorrent + iRATE + Ogg Vorbis : jamendo

  15. incredible on Microwires Can Replace The DVD-ROM · · Score: 1

    omg, you'll be able to hide several terabytes in your hair !?

    Remerber johnny mnemonic ? No wait, sardaukars with their shigawires in dune ?

  16. Re:Creative Commons is the answer ! on Allofmp3.com Wins Court Case · · Score: 1

    I think there will always be space for "label"-produced artists.

    self-produced is okay too, but self-distribution would be dump. Getting publishers like jamendo, magnatune or archive.org plus self-produced artists would be a nice alternative.

  17. the shield too on New Dr. Who Episode Leaked · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The 2 first EPs of the 4th season of The Shield have been leaked too as DVDrips... 2 weeks before their scheduled air date !

    Come on guys, Vic is gonna kick your a** !!!!

  18. me too on Apple I Replica Creation · · Score: 1

    I wa just about to build a replica of the ENIAC, but the cost of the 1000 square feet was quite discouraging :/

  19. Creative Commons is the answer ! on Allofmp3.com Wins Court Case · · Score: 2, Informative

    Don't bother with semi-legal websites like allofmp3.com

    Check out jamendo for Creative Commons music you can download via P2P without fearing to be caught by the RIAA.....

  20. Use case of P2P : legal CC music. on MGM v. Grokster: Here's Why P2P is Valuable · · Score: 1

    Creative Commons music is really taking on on P2P...

    Check this :

    http://www.jamendo.com

    It's Creative Commons Music + BitTorrent + iRATE + Ogg Vorbis... Awesome ! That's why P2P has to survive !

  21. an easy solution... on Australian ISPs Required To Report Child Porn · · Score: 1

    easy !

    They just have to put in their hosting contract that child porn is illegal, and if they find somebody who has child porn, he has to pay them $56.000 ...

  22. Sci fi movies ? on Bezos's Blue Origin Prepares Launch Facility · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Am I the only one to believe that this kind of projects will soon be featured in not-so-future sci fi movies ??

  23. Re:Is Chuck D.'s next CD going to be free? on Creative Commons Remix Contest · · Score: 1

    yes but the website says (or said before it was slashdotted) that the winner track will be included on the chuck D cd. So that's clearly a commercial use of CC content.

    Maybe they suppose that the winner will allow Chuck D to use his track ?!

  24. Re:Is Chuck D.'s next CD going to be free? on Creative Commons Remix Contest · · Score: 1

    I think you mistake and the parent is right.

    Chuck D is the copyright holder of his track on the Wired CD, but he isn't the copyright holder of the remixed tracks. He isn't the copyright holder of samples of the beastie boys that can be used in a Chuck D remix on CC Mixter.

  25. ewwhhh ! on Game Industry Not Bigger Than Hollywood · · Score: 1

    yeah keep talking about billions, I love it !!
