Naa, because when it comes down to it, if "anyone" can download and decrypt from you, so can the MPAA stooges... A better system would be to distrubute (over many hosts) pieces which are not recognisable individually (e.g. bit0.bin, bit1, ...bit8.bin) and then distribute a recombination system. That would mean that you individually would have "0101010100", which they would have to prove was part of whatever.mpg.... ...difficult, and harder to prove that _you_knew_ that's what it was! If the p2p network shares files in the same way gnutella shares directory listings, then the actual content would move dynamically around the network and only be recognisable using the recombination system (whatever that is). That's basically the way gnutella was meant to work, but they never got around to making the "content" distributed in the same way as the share lists. I guess it was because of performance issues, but maybe someone can take the final steps and make a gnutella app that can share your files by shoving the chunks around the gnutella network.....so you can disconnect and folks can still download hours or days later...

Pursuant to the | |provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), | |which is codified at 17 U.S.C. § 512, upon receiving such | |notification, Cox is required to "act expeditiously to | |remove, or disable access to" the infringing material in | |order to avoid liability for any alleged copyright | |infringement. Accordingly, Cox will suspend your account and | |disable your connection to the Internet within 24 hours of | |your receipt of this email if the offending material is not |removed. |> | |> Please be aware that the DMCA also provides procedures by |which a |subscriber accused of copyright violation can |respond to the | |allegations of infringement and, under certain circumstances, | |cause his or her account to be reinstated. To do so, | |however, the response must meet certain criteria. Pursuant to | |section (g) of the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)), you have the | |right to submit to Cox a counter-notification which, to be | |effective, must include the following elements: | |> | |> (a) a physical or electronic signature of the subscriber; | |> (b) identification of the material that has been |removed or to which | |access has been disabled and the location at which the | |material appeared before it was removed or disabled; | |> (c) a statement under penalty of perjury that the | |subscriber has a good | |faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a | |result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be | |removed or disabled; | |> (d) the subscriber's name, address, and telephone number | |and a statement | |that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of the | |Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the | |address is located. | |> | |> In the event that you submit to Cox a counter-notification that | |> includes | |these elements, Cox will forward your counter notification to | |the complainant and advise them that Cox will cease disabling | |access to the allegedly infringing material in ten (10) | |business days. Unless the complainant notifies us that it | |has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you | |from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity prior to | |the expiration of those ten (10) business days, Cox will | |reactivate your account. | |> | |> Sincerely, | |> | |> The Cox Abuse Team | |> | |> --- Original Message --- | |> | |> Return-Path: <MPAAat_private> | |> Received: from plain.rackshack.net ([216.127.68.130]) by ||lakemtai10.cox.net | |> (InterMail vM.5.01.04.05 | |201-253-122-122-105-20011231) with | |ESMTP | |> id | |<20020708190543.YDAN5511.lakemtai10.cox.netat_private> | |> for <abuseat_private>; Mon, 8 Jul 2002 14:05:43 -0500 | |> Received: from 216.127.68.130 (plain.rackshack.net |[216.127.68.130]) | |> by plain.rackshack.net (8.11.6/8.11.6) with SMTP id | |g6973k118894; | |> Tue, 9 Jul 2002 03:03:47 -0400 | |> Received: from mail5.ware.net (mail5.ware.net [205.143.192.50]) | |> by mail with SMTP; Mon, 08 Jul 2002 18:32:00 (GMT) | |> From: MPAAat_private | |> To: abuseat_private | |> Subject: Unauthorized Distribution of Copyrighted Motion Pictures | |(Reference#: 517703) | |> Date: Mon, 08 Jul 2002 18:32:00 (GMT) | |> Mime-Version: 1.0 | |> Message-Id: <200207081905.0AA60763at_private> | |> Content-type: multipart/mixed; | |> boundary="----=_Part_38152_15391325.1026155139639" | |> | |> ------=_Part_38152_15391325.1026155139639 | |> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 | |> Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable | |> Content-Disposition: inline | |> | |> MOTION PICTURE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA, INC. | |> 15503 VENTURA BOULEVARD | |> ENCINO, CALIFORNIA 91436 | |> | |> UNITED STATES | |> Anti-Piracy Operations | |> PHONE: (818) 728 - 8127 | |> Email: MPAAat_private <mailto:MPAAat_private> | |> | |> Monday, July 08, 2002 | |> | |> Name: abuseat_private | |> E-mail: abuseat_private | |> ISP: Cox Communications | |> | |> Via Fax/Email | |> | |> RE: Unauthorized Distribution of Copyrighted Motion |Pictures |> Site/URL: gnutella://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:6346/ [with |IP address: |xxx.xxx.xxx.xx] |> Reference#: 517703 |> | |> Date of Infringement: 7/2/2002 4:08:38 AM GMT | |> | |> | |> Dear abuseat_private: | |> | |> The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) represents the | |> following | |m= | |> otion picture production and distribution companies: | |> | |> Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. | |> Disney Enterprises, Inc. | |> Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. | |> Paramount Pictures Corporation | |> TriStar Pictures, Inc. | |> Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation | |> United Artists Pictures, Inc. | |> United Artists Corporation | |> Universal City Studios, Inc. | |> Warner Bros., a Division of Time Warner Entertainment |Company, L.P. |> | |> We have received information that an individual has | |utilized the above | |refe= | |> renced IP address at the noted date and time to offer |downloads of |copyrigh= |> ted motion picture(s) through a |=E2=80=9Cpeer-to-peer=E2=80=9D | |> service, | |inc= | |> luding such title(s) as: | |> | |> Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone | |> Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back | |> Simpsons, The (TV) | |> Windtalkers | |> | |> The distribution of unauthorized copies of copyrighted | |motion pictures | |cons= | |> titutes copyright infringement under the Copyright Act, Title 17 | |> United | |Sta= | |> tes Code Section 106(3).
