New p2p software; Omemo.

As if there wasn't already enough ways to break the law by downloading and uploading content; the creator of blubsterlinks and Piolet, both fairly small P2P networks, has invented a new application, and it sure is an interesting one.

Omemo works by using a small percentage of the free space on your PC to hold files that people upload, thus creating a giant virtual drive, or the "O-Drive" as it has been dubbed. There are impressive claims over what a network run in this manner could achieve, yet I defintely have my doubts.

Firstly, the speed at which you upload is limited by how fast the user you are uploading too can download, and if that user goes offline, what happens? You can't get the files. Secondly, I don't want to just give up my hard drive to whatever people want to upload... would I be in the dock if someone uploaded child porn to my computer? Probably.

Interesting but flawed, I would say. Look it up here anyway
