Unless ISPs are allowed to assume that a few gigabytes of encrypted nntp packets = piracy.

Good luck

This is great! We're about to see a new age of encryption, and P2P strength. It's gonna be great, and best of all here in the US, we'll benefit from this new robustness without any interruption to my file sharing.

Sweet!!!!

Keep living in your dream world. Encryption won't prevent detection of P2P use. And WHERE your data is going to & coming from will allow detection as easily as WHAT is being transmitted. So, if laws are passed allowing ISPs to boot you, like they have in France and will soon in the UK & Sweden. Or if ISPs voluntarily agree due to political pressures like in Japan, even in the absence of laws, they will eventually throttle copyright infringing activities.

Cat and mouse ala blue box/ phone hackers

There goes the whole fan translation business. I wonder how exactly the technology will work. Also will some one have to actually look through the petabytes of data that stream through P2P? Then they have to prove that such data is illegal through a court before any action or strike can be put against a single person. I am quite sure that the first person to get nailed on one of these laws will have a few top rated layers flock to the case for both sides much like wiki leaks situation(even though they are completely different).

Its just going to turn into a cat and mouse game since before anyone gets the plug pulled they still have to prove the data is pirated and not the latest version of your preferred flavor of linux.

The end of ISP's in Japan

Very simple

BT=High Bandwith=Big money
Regular interner use=Low bandwith=Low money

That means that most people will go from their 16mb profile at $50-$60 to a regular 1mb profile at $5 a month, multilply that by the thousand for each ISP's and they all either gonna fold or embrace P2P technology.

THEY CAN'T AVOID FILESHARING they have to live with it.

Re: Good luck

Junk mail offers JUNK ADVICE again. Japan is the top technological nation with home 100mbit and gigabits being common place. Do you for one minute believe the ISPS will be able to stop piracy here? Unless users are capped, it's a pipe dream to think someone with this throughput doesn't have any other means that p2p itself.

Won't work there

Unlike here, they have Share, and the more recent Perfect Dark networks. Both of these use full encryption.

Re: Good luck

Eventually they will make a fix to the hole in the system I am sure of it. But when? That is the question. Until then I don't see pirates stop downloading and sharing illegal ( according to local laws) and I don't see them stop developing new ways to circumvent the new anti-piracy measures ISP's and RIAA will start implementing.

It's a never ending battle and as long as people Pirate they won't stop trying to beat the system.

I think we all know this by now.

True, its the demand that makes the ISP's offer higher tiers of service due to P2P and Pictures and MP3, DVD, You Tube.

Without the demand most users can live with a 1.5mbs connect.

Legal sources of video will more than create a demand for higher bandwidth. It doesn't need illegal copyright infringing activities to grow internet use.

Encrypted networks are in use all over Japan now, Universities and business being the main source at the moment. It doesn't matter if you know where a packet is going to or from or what it looks like. Since p2p is used in business in Japan too to transfer well nearly everything as well. I expect this to expand all-be-it slowly.

While people rollover generally for corporations in Japan, weird things can happen if you start tinkering with their technology.

Now, if we conquer them again like we did in WW2 and make them into a satrapy, sure, I'll care.
But otherwise, meh. Not news.

Back in the 80s, it was common knowledge in the industry that porn was the driving force (so to speak) for the advances in graphic displays and operating systems. Oh yeah, faster computers with more than 256 colors was also useful for business purposes, but the *real* reason to spend big bucks on new PCs was what you could do on your lunch break.

How does that compare to ILLEGAL activities since porn is LEGAL.

You are so ingorant on things work it isn't even funny. ISPs don't make money by their subscibers using MORE bandwidth. Thye make money by them using LESS. Show me an ISP who average user uses 5 GB a month and another one whose average user uses 100 GB a month and I can tell you that the first one make TONS more money.
