A year is not that long of a wait. Is it?
Doing a licensed series like gungrave could easily lead to another AJ/UV situation or escalate depending on the group. If groups want to keep companies from turning into the MPAA, they don't need to do licensed series. You did say you don't want to see anyone hurt by this didn't you. |

To find an infringer, you would probably have to be directly connected to him/her instead of through a transport proxy node. However, if you infiltrate enough nodes in the network, you increase the chances of a direct connect. If you compromise a routing node, you can probably create a giant log to comb through of all the connections, and then find IPs of your colleagues who are putting in searches to find sharers. Lastly, you can also see what people are searching for in the nodes you're connected to directly in Winny, it's in the first panel. |

Freenet's original goal was to allow people to publish files anonymously, but to achieve that it sacrifices efficiency. It's a neat idea, but not really very fast or very good for large files. It also suffers if too few nodes stay connected full time. |

What somebody actually said I'm right. This is a special occasion. You have decent reason, I just worry about the effects that this could have. Someone needs to. |

Two cents...
I am new to fansubbing, so I wanted to offer my two cents.
I don't pretend to know too much about international liscensing laws, or anything like that. But I do know my own personal right from wrong. Is it wrong for a company to charge thirty bucks for a two/three episode dvd? No. Is it wrong for you too buy that dvd? No. Is it wrong to bitch about it once it's over and done. Well, yeah, stupid. Caveat Emptor and all that stuff. Companies so have us at a slight disadvantage. They know which buttons to push. I used to be in marketing. It is a very necessary slimey thing. Without it, every bit of entertainment that we get would be bland/mediocre/middle of the road. The very thing which lets us escape from the dull day would become lifeless itself. What's the point? Well, the point is that we are in a dual love/hate siutation with any money-making company that provides us with a product or a service. Well love that they give us cool stuff, but hate the fact they charge so much for it. They love it when we spend money for thier stuff, but hate it when we look for other-cheaper alternatives. Getting something for as little as possible is a human thang. It's an itch we will always scratch. Some scratch it until the rash is visible to any and all, some scratch it in moderation. In the past two weeks or so that I have been downloading anime, I have been cautious. It's not that I don't want to break the law, laws being open to so many loopholes and so much of it based on impersonal review, it's that I don't want to break my own personal code of conduct. I love UFO Princess Valkerie. Do I think that it will ever reach the American shores as a release. To the strong goes the fight and the swiftest the race, but bet on your gut instinct. UFOPV wil stay in Japan. So will Battle Programmer Shirase. I could be wrong. But the moment I am proven wrong, I will, more than likely, save my pennies and get them. I was able to get all the eps for Last Exile when I first started the downloading hobby. I didn't know that it was not only liscensed, but that it was coming out in the middle of December. Guess what's on my Amazon wishlist for Christmas. Well, all the Chobits manga in a neat little box, but I feel obliged to buy Last Exile. Not just because I feel that I bent my own personal code, but because it is a quality product (and I want a high quality copy that doesn't freeze frame every now and again--damn my slow computer and its ugly monitor). I want to support this industry. Last Exile made me feel good. Anyway, I will close the rant and rave. It really doesn't matter if we abuse this thing. in the end, if the powers that be with the money we gave them and the lawyers they hired with it want to take steps to shut it all down--it will get shut down. I don't think that they will go thru the trouble to hit the internet. They will just make it obsolete. Concurent liscensing of shows in Japan and the US are already starting to happen. This will take the honest fansubbers out of the game, and make the dishonest ones stand out like a rash. For me. I plan on getting what I can, and buying what I can. My friend started doing the downloading thang two years ago. He promised to support Love Hina and Excel Saga and he has. I plan on supporting LE, Gunslinger Girls, Chrno Crusade, ROD the TV and various others when the budget can afford it. My two cents turned into a few bucks. |
