Encrypted file sharing solutions could end RIAA lawsuits!
I've heard friends talk about this, and it seems like this could lead to the end of RIAA lawsuits. Several companies offer such free peer-to-peer applications, and they seem quite popular in Europe already since they hide all info regarding the files that are shared.
It probably won't end the lawsuits. They'll manage to declare any network traffic over port 34259 (or whatever) to be automatically illegal, encrypted or not.
There are already tons of private P2P networks, but that ain't slowing the RIAA and MPAA down one bit.
Party pooper.
Welcome, new monkey!
No it won't stop lawsuits, encryption just makes it harder for the RIAA to quickly identify a sharer. Now they will need to join the sharing networks in order to see what is shared, or hire someone to do this and rat you out.
Héhé, there's also a method to GigaTribe's madness: GigaTribe was previously named TribalWeb, but a local Webdesign agency named Tribal sued us because they thought the name might confuse people. So we came up with GigaTribe, which personally, I think it's brilliant! The name GigaTribe reflects the fact that very large files (hence the term "Giga" as in gigabyte) can easily be transferred between friends, family, or co-workers (hence the term "Tribe").

That's a bust, tick! Oh, john, we hardly knew you!
*musical sting*
. . . And I just had a bagel! So tasty with the cream cheese and toasted it was!
*wishes for another bagel*
I'd respond pete, but I installed this really crappy file encrypting network software and it's garblinxindnd zpsmmmm1mm
I'm looking ahead toward lunch. Just a sandwich, or can I come up with something more satisfying? Damn, I really need to buy groceries more often.
*stomach growls wildly*
Wild guess: our new friend is John.
with GigaTribe users don't exchange files with millions, they exchange and share files with small communities of friends and family.
This makes no sense. So instead of having access to a million song files, there will only be about 26? Wow, sounds revolutionary.
Welcome, new monkey!
I've heard friends talk about this
...across the desk at the office where we work marketing it.
Heh, Koko.
I think John plays guitar for Psychobolia.
Or Psycho-FUCKING-bolia, if you will.
Grr, my comment disappeared.
italknews. Umm, yeah. Anyone can write a story and post it. There you go. Good luck marketing that!
How do you say "PR hitjob" in Monkey-language?
The thing about astroturf is, if you slip, you can get a really nasty arse-burn.

Cigarette?
Oh, yes please.
Giving up going well there, rory?
Y'know guerilla marketing is fucking evil.
Shit, I cursed!
Dammit!
> Giving up going well there, rory?
Gets easier every time. Especially if I cut down the amount of time between these giving ups.
Optimum seems to be giving up between about 00:00 and 08:00.
Arf. I sometimes manage whole hours between tabs.
Giving up is easy. I've done it 20 times.
Quick, someone post something before February 13 disappears!
Is it Lent yet?
There's a story, probably apocryphal, about Alfie Byrne meeting Mae West. Mae is alleged to have said to Alfie "Come up and see me some time." Alfie responded, "Oh I would love to, only you see it's Lent." To which Mae replied, "Well, when you get it back, you can come up and see me sometime."
Done, smt!
Shut yer cakeholes! DJ Sonik uses gigatribe!
Fishtick you win the Maltese Falcon award for investigative monkey work.

Ectually, 'twas Inspector Coppe (rightly enough!) who was the lead investigator for this case. I merely assisted with a bit of the legwork.
I hate the way that the lube always rides up my forearm and ends up all over my elbow, y'know? Even when it's banana-scented? I mean, like, yuck.

Oui, mais après qu'un fil ait été eeké, ce n'est plus un lieu public.

Bah whey!
