What use is encryption for?
nobody can see what you're transferring if it's encrypted. Unless they run a brute force password cracker or guess it.Originally Posted by tamarisk
Except the other end of the transfer of course (like the RIAA etc).
well they'd need a password, so they wouldnt be able to unencrypt it. I suppose this isnt foolproof encryption but it's safer. I dont think that the people at RIAA are going to bother cracking a password, there are plenty of other people out there who dont encrypt their files.. like me.
No they wouldn't. You don't need a password to decrypt your downloads, they are just transferred over an encrypted link and the encryption and decryption processes are automated. What would be the point of sharing password protected files, what is anyone going to do with them if they can't decrypt them.
Well, of course the RIAA can see it, but for people on networks, such as college or business networks, the IT department can't see what's being downloaded on it
..unless they use man-in-the-middle attack so they can decrypt it easily, especially if it's standard SSL protocol so there's existing tools for it.
I love Pablo and appreciate all the work he has done to reinvigorate MP3 only sharing, but this is such a huge gimmick.

This is like making it appear to be what everyone wants and craves, but it really isn't.
It may make the novice and simple-minded believe they are safe though.
That's dangerous.
You can't triple stamp a double stamp.
is this out yet?if it is provide a link.
Pimpin is easy
Yep, purposefully creating false sense of security is wrong. Encryption is nice but does not solve the main problems and risks in filesharing.
there will be an open beta soon

That is absolutely true. The only really good benefit that can come from all of this is maybe the network will finally start growing again with a new client out. Of course, people will need to be educated on the risks the same way we educate them not to use Kazaa.
Hope there is a clean version. Also this program needs some authenticity rating for files. Its starting to get flooded with fake files.
