Again, this had to do with g’s remark, as I find it funny that people have this attitude when, if they actually use it, will find no better selection anywhere on the net.

Think it’s great that something like this is offered but it is no better secure than not sharing your files on ss. The powers that be have left it alone mostly because it’s more for indie releases and not things on major labels. In fact slsk has never come up in a law suite while almost all other have like DC++:

Two convicted in landmark internet piracy trial

Wednesday January 19, 2005

Two men yesterday became the first individuals ever convicted for breaking copyright privacy by offering illegal movie files on the internet.

William Trowbridge, 50, from New York, and Michael Chicoine, 47, from Texas, yesterday pleaded guilty to the charge of committing criminal copyright infringement before a US court. The American justice department said both men made available millions of dollars worth of movies, music, computer games and software on peer-to-peer sites that they maintained for two years.

"As today's pleas demonstrate, those who steal copyrighted material will be caught, even when they use the tools of technology to commit their crimes," the US attorney general, John Ashcroft, said. "The theft of intellectual property victimises not only its owners and their employees but also the American people, who shoulder the burden of increased costs for goods and services."

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the men were arrested as a result of a joint FBI-justice department investigation, called Operation Digital Gridlock, launched last August. The operation targeted five peer-to-peer networks, which require users to share large quantities of computer files with other users, all of whom could download each other's shared files.

Trowbridge and Chicoine owned, maintained and operated websites which allowed files to be swapped using file-sharing software called Direct Connect. Government agents downloaded 35 copyrighted works worth nearly $5,000 (£2,700) from Chicoine's site and more than 70 copyrighted works worth $20,650 (£11,000) from Trowbridge's.

Both men risk a maximum of five years in prison and a $250,000 (£134,000) fine. They will be sentenced on April 29.

Bullseye on both accounts.

I can't even find the executable to restart the software.
I installed it from inside winrar, which i probably should not have done. I'm more familiar with winzip, which works to install things from there.
I think I installed it to ram or something, lol, as there is no folder or files on the hard drive.

I'm going to try it from work today.

Create a new folder in C:\Program Files, and re-extract everything into that folder.

Sketch? Kung Fu? We're in need of some expertise on the DC++ active connections. See the conversation we started over on the hub.

this security thing makes bitorrent seem that much safer, unless of course you are hosting the torrent file or the website.

I love the idea of uploading it to others as I am downloading it from others. talk about conserving bandwidth, and making things anonymous.

Bittorrent isn't safe at all. You can see the IP addresses of all the people you're connected to.

Yeah, I use that on and off. Takes up a boatload of CPU time, though.
