Re: How is this any different than a VPN? said by jester121:I don't know what the profit motive would be, but if someone wanted to create a "hub" in a friendly jurisdiction that would basically proxy encrypted connections for P2P transfers, it would completely stymie the MPAA/RIAA in their enforcement efforts. Just like the anon proxies people use for web surfing, but with encryption. All the **AA could do is sue for the hub provider to provide IP addresses, and like TPB this probably wouldn't accomplish much. The bandwidth and processing requirements would be huge. That is what I was thinking too. Create a centralized hub, but then we're back to the days when the **AA's just have to go after one set of servers ... unless it's a Tor type network. Tor definitely could not support torrents though, so I just don't see where they are going with this. |
