Giving Sharers Ears Without Faces

In response to recent threats to file traders, peer-to-peer developers say they’re seeing an upsurge of interest in tools that purport to hide identities.

The pressure comes from the Recording Industry Association of America’s announcement Wednesday that it plans to sue hundreds of uploaders, and a recent court ruling requiring Verizon to reveal the names of subscribers accused of piracy

Blubster developer Pablo Soto of Madrid said his music-swapping service relaunched today as a secure, decentralized system providing users with anonymous accounts.

The MP2P network (short for Manolito Peer-to-Peer) on which Blubster is based consists of more than 200,000 users sharing over 52 million files, according to Soto. The update is also said to include a new, streamlined file-distribution method that disassociates transfers from specific users.
