Re: And people keep claiming bittorrent isn't primarily pirating
said by Warez_Zealot  :said by TKJunkMail :I think that " PIRATE Bay" being the biggest torrent tracker says a lot about the bogus claims that bittorrent use isn't primarily used for pirating(coyright infringement) music and videos. Maybe if they offered content at the price of 10 cents a song or movies at like $2 - $3 dollars people would pirate less. If they can move more quantity and charge less instead of charging more and selling less they would still make a lot. Anyways, guaranteed half they stuff downloaded is deleted right away after they realize the content is complete garbage. How about for free:

Qtrax, which makes its debut Sunday, is the latest online music venture counting on the lure of free music to draw in music fans and on advertising to pay the bills, namely record company licensing fees.
Qtrax downloads can be stored indefinitely on PCs and transferred onto portable music players, however.
The service, which boasts a selection of up to 30 million tracks, also promises that its music downloads will be playable on Apple Inc.'s iPods and Macintosh computers as early as March. Copy to music players OK, but can't copy to CDs.

Please check back in 24 hours to download the first, free, and legal P2P music application. I guess when it hit the newswires their servers offering up the new software downloads got buried.

Huntsville, AL | And thats what bit torrent was originally designed to combat.
Too bad everyone hates it so much, or you could have whatever file that is already. |

Qtrax site up and running; but check warnings at end of msg
said by TKJunkMail :said by stltech :shame that Qtrax is down right now! They claim back up in 24 hours. Please check back in 24 hours to download the first, free, and legal P2P music application. I guess when it hit the newswires their servers offering up the new software downloads got buried. Looks like they got the site up and running again:
»www.qtrax.com/
They have a message that their software download will be available at Midnight EST.
Of course, legal though it may be, it is P2P based, and depending on how they implemented it, it may be throttled by Comcast or other ISPs if their software tends to flood upstream bandwidth.
They say their software is developed off a Gnutella based platform: »www.qtrax.com/legal.php
QTRAX/QTRAXMAX is a free, Gnutella-based file sharing software allowing users around the world to make peer-to-peer connections with each other. But be careful what you share:
We have no control over the information and data being disseminated or contained on any Gnutella network. You are ultimately responsible for the material you choose to upload, download and share with others. You will be personally liable for downloading and/or sharing infringing materials or copyrighted works.
We are, however, conscious of the legal issues involving sharing of certain types of files and ultimately these issues will be decided by the Courts or an Act of Parliament/Congress.
In the mean time, however, we expect all users of QTRAX/QTRAXMAX to comply with applicable laws, to respect the moral and legal rights of copyright authors and owners, and to use the Gnutella network in a responsible and law abiding way. While ideas are not fully protectable (only the expression of ideas), users who do share their own ideas with others expect others not to steal their protected works. THEREFORE, DO NOT STEAL FILE TYPES WHICH YOU DO NOT HAVE A LAWFUL RIGHT TO OWN OR USE.
So, it looks like their software could be used to trade music and other files NOT on their list of licensed music. Getting you in trouble with the RIAA or others who may come sniffing around thru your shared folders.
They may not have all their LEGALITIES lined up as they said:

Re: And people keep claiming bittorrent isn't primarily pirating
Free - GOOD. DRM - bad. must use their software which can download other scumware to your system - BAD.
When the service works with WMP, Call me!
-
the reason the piracy model works is because theres no bullshit with DRM, low encode rates or any of the other crap these paysites have. THEY STILL DONT GET IT!
