I'm catching up after being at the FTC P2P conference last week. This and following blog entries are from news that may be a week old.



MPAA Gives Free PR to Bit Torrent



Hollywood welcomed bit torrent to the real world by legally attacking Bit Torrent tracker servers as well as other servers from Edonkey and Direct Connect. The only question - what took the MPAA so long???



The Napster decision 5 years ago made it clear that any centralized feature would make the provider liable. Waiting until AFTER Bit Torrent and Edonkey were hugely popular is total ineptitude, though not surprising from them. It's far too late to hurt the networks. They now have tens of millions of fans and long ago started redesigning their technology to full decentralization. It's just more free PR for them. Maybe I ought to set up a server for TrustyFiles so they can sue me too.
