Piracy is Good? Part Five

[Ass2mouth18]

Vuze did Change everything it is now so easy to download any move, song or tv show with just one click and just as simple to put it on my ps3 or iPhone. God I love the Internet.

[matt7mvp]

So how do I download from the interwebs?

[colloredbrothers]

its not hard anymore to download. vuze is program where you can search torrents on just click download and watch.

I really enjoyed this, it's given me an idea for a new technology. If should be possible to distribute content in a multi-file container format (ie MKV video), but manipulate the hashes and inject regional button ads into a specific segment of the file.

It would need a new BT server platform and some clever hacking, but I think it should be possible. Advanced users could remove the ads, but the general population wouldn't bother.

[mpesce]

You've got it precisely.

[bitplane]

Are you already working on something like this? If so I'd be really interested to know how it's going. If not, is it due to legal or technical issues?

Looking at the bittorrent spec, the MD5 sum of the file is optional, the InfoDictionary section of the file could be different for each user, the tracker could refuse to release peer lists until the user has the hacked blocks. It certainly looks plausible!

This is a project I'd very much like to work on, if you're interested please get in touch.

[mpesce]

Not working on this or anything like this, actually.

MKV wouldn't be a bad idea. I really like MKV because of the different options I have, all in one file. But I can't easily play them on my PSP. In fact, I haven't figured out a way. I think a lot of players have that problem.

But other than that's it's a grand idea.

But Itunes still has one major problem, Music protection.... I know people who won't buy from Itunes because of the way they encript music files.

[asdffdas1234]

I'm not fund of iTunes, but they have been offering DRM-free music for some 2 years and just recently started offering their compete selection DRM-free (originally it was only EMI then the others reluctantly followed suit as it sold better than the DRM'ed crap).

[Whatevar11]

I just don't like evil companies.

Apple, even.

[bacardee]

Tv companies should buy out netflix and use their idea for distributing tv shows

[mpesce]

Excellent idea.

hahahahaha pun pun pun

[Hyperbulle]

Truly brilliant.

[jackaroon]

Regarding word-of-mouth advertising - Some people have no friends (uhhh ... old people) and would not know what to watch on TV. What's on CBS? Everybody Loves Raymond! The popularity of that show disgusts me, but I haven't met anybody that can even bear to watch it.

The entire city of Boston, MA is so stupid they didn't even know what a mooninite was, and thought a guerilla marketing ad was a terrorist attack.

This isn't some important counterpoint, I just thought I'd share.

[mpesce]

All important points. But then this talk really isn't directed at the plus-55s, people who are not particularly electronically connected. This is about everyone who is more-or-less permanently wired in. Which is certainly everyone under 40.

[HoodLU4boi]

Dead on, and that's definitely what's happening in today's world. However, sooner or later all of the Under 40s are going to get old.

My dad is going through his 50s now and yet he's still as computer active as he's ever been before, if not more.

[ZeroG84]

a thought that came to my mind.. What if radio playlists would be mailed ones a week or a month? I don't listen to radio because there's too much adverts, but this could get me to pop the CD in every now an' then and listen to the "new stuff". And why not sell spots from the CD covers and the surface. "20-singels of the week that will play 5 times a day anyway" :D
