well, if you know the data is the same, and finger-printing media so people can
steal better is already well known; isn't, the many to one download solution
the best, since average broadband is 6x faster for downloading.
i think snowcap tried the finger printing solution until the realized they
were't making money. original idea. now, who knows what they're doing....but,
from what i've heard, its still not working.

uncorrelated sources == decentralized
decentralized == piracy?
i still believe in the resilience and robustness of decentralized
networking technologies. meraki is deploying a mesh downtown.
zeroconf/rendezvous more popular by the day. here.>
the usability and collaborative aspects of such decentralization (when
well applied) are empowering and positive, despite potential abuses.

agreed. i understand why such a target is well suited for study and
experimentation, but music/movies will inevitably be tied to piracy as
a first reaction. this doesn't obviate the many other uses (in
decentralized contexts) where this same technique can be applied for
positive/ethical/legal purposes though...

these centralized distribution systems are the only legitimate form?

we're back to decentralized == illegitimate again.
i understand the negativity toward their chosen subject (a poor one,
admittedly). i still find it hard to see how all decentralized uses
can be viewed as illegitimate.
