In this interview, Andrew discusses flaws with the DMCA, the current states of reverse engineering and Moore's Law, what he's hacking now, and what he'll be speaking about at Etech. [openp2p.com] TFTP and Error Correction TFTP's (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) design is revealing the same way that a car's airbags are. As an airbag testifies to the probability and violent nature of a crash, so TFTP's design speaks of frequent and catastrophic data misadventure. Heath Johns helps you get your head around this specification. [Wireless DevCenter]
Introduction to the Peer-to-Peer Sockets Project
The Peer-to-Peer Sockets project reimplements Java's standard Interview with LimeWire COO Greg Bildson Greg Bildson is the COO of LimeWire and president of P2P United, a consortium of P2P software companies created to help educate Congress and the public about peer-to-peer software, technology, and culture. P2P United paid 12-year-old Brianna LaHara's $2,000 RIAA settlement after she was served with a Digital Millennium Copyright Act subpoena. Lisa Rein interviews Greg about the RIAA and P2P issues. [openp2p.com] File Sharing Without the Fear In early September, the RIAA sued 261 people who it claims illegally shared music files over the Internet. Despite this action, many people have decided to continue downloading and sharing files. If you're one of them, Preston Gralla says there are some things you can do to make it unlikely that the RIAA will target you. In this article, he looks at ways to do this, using file-sharing software. Preston is the author of Windows XP Hacks. [openp2p.com] Taxing Questions: Are Compulsory Licenses a Solution to the P2P Debate? The concept of compulsory licenses has been hailed by fair use lobbyists as the savior of persecuted file-sharers. This type of agreement would establish a common ground with the major music labels and offer the possibility that all parties might be able to reach an agreement. Miriam Rainsford examines this concept. [OpenP2P.com] Independent Label Go-Kart Records Embraces MP3s Even if you're not a Buzzcocks fan, you might want to take a look at the bands on Go-Kart records. This independent label has survived ten years by publishing music they feel passionate about. Now they're embracing new technology for that little edge to help them move forward. Here's an interview with their CEO, Greg Ross. [OpenP2P.com] Commentary: What's Real and Make-Believe with the RIAA Subpoenas? If any of the current rash of RIAA's subpoenas were determined to be "patently unlawful," file sharers could potentially retaliate with lawsuits for alleged electronic privacy and computer fraud violations. In this opinion piece by Lisa Rein, she takes a close look at the current tension between the RIAA and file sharers. [OpenP2P.com] Trademarks Cory Doctorow, who works with the EFF, wrote this article on the heels of a rash of trademark incidents that he's encountered. His point of view in this opinion piece is that trademark and copyright are supposed to promote expression. He doesn't write about any specific details of particular cases; rather, he restates an overview of these issues that serves as his guiding light. [OpenP2P.com] Network Effects: Stan Liebowitz and the MP3 Debate Stan Liebowitz's study is indeed a thorough examination of the situation, perhaps more so than any other presently available. But despite the strength of his conclusions, when one examines the deep flaws in his logic, and the incomplete or biased nature of the evidence he presents, it is impossible to consider his study as admissible evidence in the trial of MP3 file sharing. [OpenP2P.com] A Musician's Take on File Sharing, DRM, and Copyleft Licensing Musicans can be a very adaptable community, and many are looking at online music and file sharing differently than the companies that often contract with them. Miriam Rainsford explores issues of P2P, DRM, and copyleft licensing from her musician point of view. [OpenP2P.com] It Doesn't Pay to be Popular When Glenn Fleishman made his book, Real World Adobe GoLive 6, available as a free download, he learned a hard lesson about the cost of bandwidth. But what if he could have used peer-to-peer file sharing or some other distributed method? [OpenP2P.com] Feed Your Head at Etech 2003 A week in Santa Clara for the O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference provided attendees with lots to chew on. Daniel Steinberg gives an inside look at the people and the topics that helped make this such a satisfying event. [OpenP2P.com] Swarms and Mobs at This Year's ETech Individually, Eric Bonabeau's keynote on Biological Computing and Howard Rheingold's address on Smart Mobs would have been interesting. Taken together you can see the application of emergent behavior described by Bonabeau to the technological challenges issued by Rheingold. And that's what makes conferences like ETech so powerful. Here's a look at what exceeds the sum of its parts with these two keynotes. [OpenP2P.com] Daddy, Are We There Yet? A Discussion with Alan Kay Some guys are always ahead of the curve. Alan Kay was working on a notebook computer called the Dynabook thirty-five years ago. "Twenty years ago at PARC," Kay says, "I thought we would be way beyond where we are now. I was dissatisfied with what we did there. The irony is that it looks pretty good." So where are we now? Daniel Steinberg chats with Alan Kay to find out. [OpenP2P.com] What If SETI@home Gets Lucky? Brian McConnell, author of Beyond Contact, looks at the latest developments in SETI@home and describes what will happen if a meaningful signal is found. [OpenP2P.com] Mac OS X Innovators Contest Ready for Primetime Over the last few months we've been assembling a three-part plan to help Mac OS X developers refine and market their ideas. Now the plan is ready for primetime. One of the most exciting new developments is the launch of the "Mac OS X Innovators" contest. Here's how it works. [MacDevCenter.com]
Internet Perspectives
Internet Perspectives Swarm Intelligence: An Interview with Eric Bonabeau The concept of swarm intelligence is borrowed from nature, and in this interview with Eric Bonabeau, that's where the conversation begins--with ants and other social insects. Dr. Bonabeau takes us from his childhood nightmares of carnivorous wasps to applying the theories of swarm intelligence to solving real problems in the business world. [OpenP2P.com] Stop Acting Like the Entertainment Industry! Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) are a new way to watch TV (TiVo is a popular example), but not necessarily in the friendly viewer-empowering way painted by the advertisements. DVRs offer increased functionality, but at what cost? Matthew Gast examines this emerging technology. [OpenP2P.com] LazyWeb and RSS: Given Enough Eyeballs, Are Features Shallow Too? Clay Shirky muses on LazyWeb, the idea that "If you wait long enough, someone will write/build/design what you were thinking about." Clay says it is coming to mean "I describe a feature I think should exist in hopes that someone else will code it." Find out why Clay thinks LazyWeb works, how RSS can advance the concept, and how to use it as a way to spread new ideas. [OpenP2P.com]
