Tru, but it'll just be the MPAA going after individual users that are willing to chance it, instead of being able to cut it off at a few sources.

Basically, just a lot more work for them 😀

the key was decentralization... and it's doing that.

I think mostly you'll be able to tell who's downloading through you.
I'm anxiously awaiting to hear the first mpaa lawsuit on an individual who isn't hosting any copyrighted material.

Right now, MPAA can sue tracker servers, each serving several trackers and thus several thousand users. When you have millions of trackers, who the hell do you sue?
This will probably make it harder than even Kazaa. There about 1% of users are responsible for ~50% of files, with 70% of users not sharing anything. Easy to sue, but when you have everyone seeding, tracking and downloading...
 
Honestly, based on what he said, I'm VERY skeptical and will stay VERY far away. They're apparently partnered with some big, scary, anonymous company (which could either be someone too scared of the legal ramifications of their work and just wants to hide behind the piracy scene, or it could be somthing far, far more sinister. I'm leaning to the far more sinister side. Think about it. It's piracy. On a proprietary interface. Supported by "OPTIONAL" ads. WTFBBQ? Sounds like either a big, nasty trap, or a big, nasty pile of spyware to me.)

I listened live. The guy sounds so german it isn't even funny.

I don't know dude. Yes he's Danish, but it looks like the long arm of the MPAA/RIAA reached out and choked suprnova. I know they aren't saying why they went down, but I'm still going to speculate. And if the MPAA/RIAA got to him, it's not too much of a stetch that they partnered up with him to implement some type of tracking in Exeem. It might be paranoia, but I'll stay back and watch for a while before I jump in. 😉

so i'm testing exeem beta 0.16 right now...it's stable on MY system and it's a good client for torrent and exeem links. based off libtorrent. this thing could possibly revolutionize huge file sharing.

Stupid people are really really getting to me tonight. This is not one of my higher-tollerance days. I think I'll go watch a movie or something.

Apparently, you never heard a real German person talk English before.

Just click the "X" in the upper right-hand corner. I read from one of the earlier links that it works then.
