While the trial of the site manager eMule-Paradise, suspected of allowing illegal downloading of seven thousand movies on peer-to-peer eMule in 2005 and 2006, opens Monday, January 31 in Paris, Peter Sunde, founder of The Pirate Bay gives an overview of P2P. Limewire service had to close at the end of 2010.
After his trial initiated by the Recording Industry Association of America, Napster has been bought by Bestbuy, and is now a legal music service. Kazaa has followed the same path. The model of sharing P2P services can be sustained? I think if you embarrass the big industries, they will eventually fight you and try to get by using their considerable financial resources.
In a distribution system like The Pirate Bay, the value lies in the people who make up its network, not the site itself. For me, this means that The Pirate Bay is not "callable", even if there have been attempts in the past. Ultimately, the only financial value of the site is in its name - and this value will disappear if it is redeemed.
The Pirate Bay is a legal site, like Napster would be likely if it were created today. This is not because the law lags behind technological change and that rich people feel threatened they are right. For The Pirate Bay, the Swedish court has upheld the conviction at trial. What are you doing now? We expect our trial on appeal to the Supreme Court.
In the meantime, nothing changes. Google has announced the freezing of research in its files Torrent search suggestions. Will it to a demonization of P2P? It's a slippery slope for Google. I hope they will realize that this is an open door for other organizations, which will be increasingly likely to put pressure on them to a similar system, corresponding to their requests, is in place.
And suddenly, nobody will trust Google. It's a bad thing for us, the users, for all Tech News Buzz. France has set up its system of "graduated response", with the web laws, in a purpose "teaching" the government said. Has this had an impact on the traffic of The Pirate Bay from France? I do not know exactly, but it's very unlikely.
In other countries that have implemented similar measures, more and more people started to file sharing, simply because they are tired of seeing multinationals dictate their laws. Such laws are obviously benefits to large organizations, is lobbying revolting. In Sweden, these companies spared no expense to be voted a law on the download line with their expectations, which should never have passed through Parliament.
We saw a slight decline in traffic in Sweden when the law was passed IPRED. We're not sure that this drop was directly related to the law, because other things happened at the same time - closures of services, a decrease in the number of published content - but visitors to the site today higher than it was before the vote.
French ISPs and several studies consider that France, users of P2P massively away and turned to the direct download and streaming. P2P can be done about this "competition"? Competition is a good thing. It is healthy that no one system for exchanging information. Centralization is a major network problem, so hopefully we will see other solutions! We note that the use of VPN services [virtual private network, to use the Internet anonymously] is also rising sharply.
Almost ten percent of the Swedish population today uses a system of anonymity, as IPREDator [edited by The Pirate Bay]. This is probably a direct response to the new repressive laws. Direct download services have a major weakness, however: as they are centralized, they can easily be controlled.
In December, you announced plans for a management system for domain names, DNS (Domain Name Server) in P2P. How would it work? The goal is to create an alternative to DNS [which manages how the information is "oriented" on the Internet]. We want to attract people's attention to the fact that the current structure of the Internet, with some central nodes - the root servers and TLDs.
com,. net and. org - is dangerous and can easily be blocked by someone. The United States plans to pass a law allowing them to cut Internet in an emergency, and as all the organizations that manage the Internet are under their jurisdiction, we are facing a major problem. If we could ensure that the Internet is managed more by the international community, it would be a good solution, and we would not need much of a distributed DNS system.
I hope we will. The project appears stalled. It is not abandoned, but it is true that advances slowly. For now, we are at the conceptual design of systems. We already have one or two possible solutions, but they do not satisfy us completely. We want to reach a solution that is technically flawless, so we take our time.
Bram Cohen, BitTorrent's creator, recently presented his project "Pheon" which aims to use P2P technology for streaming (streaming). Such services are they the future of P2P? All forms of P2P have a role to play on the Internet. I think in years to come we will see more or less all possible uses adapted to P2P, to better manage the problems of scale as the centralized services.
I am somewhat concerned regarding the streaming as it is practiced today is a heavily centralized technology. If we could have access to an information distribution capabilities without control or censorship, it would be much better. If you were to repeat today The Pirate Bay, is there anything you would change? Not really.
I am very happy with what we have done and what we learned.
