Thanks, pals.

Thanks pals for information about new P2P app.

P.S. Dirty details. Does this information induce copyright infrigement? You people in U.S.A., es-land of ex-freedom, better be frightened even to speak about such stuff. Or this law didn't passed?

"In his interview, Sloncek said Exeem would be free, but ad-supported."


Decoded that means it'll infest your PC with malware that'll track everything you do/see online, disable any anti-viral program you have running, and make any changes to your PC it deems necessary. Nice.

file hash checks could help some
by atariboy January 5, 2005 10:07 AM PST
Could not web sites for example host a public forum where users could comment on the contents of files? This could help provide some assurance in a decentralized BT environment (comparing file hashes of course). I imagine ads in a future client could also be blocked or other hacked clients would remove them in time. Finally, torrent files have not exactly evaporated. A bit of web searching can reveal quite a bit...

Don't like exeem that much
by JLP January 5, 2005 2:04 PM PST
I don't like the news about Exeem that much. It is not opensource, it will have ads and there is no version for Linux. It also uses the IE engine which is very old and insecure. There are much better P2P services already out there that don't have all those problems.

New news story on eXceem
by January 6, 2005 12:24 AM PST
I'm a reporter who's been following the P2P space for some time. Here's my take:

* Crippling BitTorrent Blow Succeeded By More Invincible eXceem

backwards logic
by January 26, 2005 3:48 PM PST
It should be the other way around. The fact that bittorrent relies on a website hosting the torrent file should make BitTorrent less prone to legal attacks. A fileswapping network that is decentralised is more likely to be used for swapping copyright data and therefore should be looked at more suspiciously. Of all the file swapping software, BitTorrent seems to have the most legitimate use as the websites hosting the torrent files can be held accountable, rather than the P2P technology itself.
