  • 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.

  • You've got it precisely.

  • 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.

  • Not working on this or anything like this, actually.

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

  • Excellent idea.

  • 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.

  • So how do I download from the interwebs?

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

  • 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.

  • I just don't like evil companies.

    Apple, even.

  • 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).
