File Sharing Goes Mobile

File Sharing Goes Mobile 09/08/2004 02:29 PM
With all these different music download stores and file sharing apps, it was only a matter of time before everything started to go mobile. I recently wrote up an article at TheFeature about all the various music download offerings for mobile phones, but it looks like some are already going beyond that to offer some form of "file sharing" as well. EMI has talked about mobile file sharing in the past, but it seemed pretty watered down. Recently, Wippit, makers of an increasingly popular DRM technology that encourages limited file sharing announced plans to offer mobile file sharing by letting users get around many wireless carriers by sending the file in response to an SMS message. The latest, though, is that SK Telecom is showing off a mobile file sharing system in Korea that will let users swap music files, ringtones, videos and more via their 3G network. They admit that it has no copy protection at all, and even say, "we're not thinking about that type of problem." It's not clear if that's because they never plan to actually launch it, or they just don't care. Given that the recording industry in Korea wanted to sue wireless carriers for offering MP3 playing phones (even after they agreed to forcibly degrade the sound quality), you have to wonder how long such an application would remain on the market. Still, it's been said many times before: it's only a matter of time until a real Napster-style file sharing app is written for mobile phones, whether by the carriers themselves or (more likely) independently. And still, everyone in the wireless and music industry seems to ignore this potential problem and insist that overpriced ringtone revenue will be around forever.

washingtonpost.com - It's move-in day for freshmen at the University of Maryland's College Park campus and the narrow lawn outside Denton Hall is strewn with piles of suitcases, bedding and Dell computer boxes. If recent history is any guide, the smiling teens wandering amid the makeshift encampments are primed to join the next generation of hard-core music pirates who'll raid Internet file-swapping networks for hundreds of thousands of illegally copied songs over the next four years.

File-sharing Goes Social

File-sharing Goes Social 01/07/2004 02:52 PM
The RIAA has taken us on a tour of networking strategies in the last few years, by constantly changing the environment file-sharing systems operate in. In hostile environments, organisms often adapt to become less energetic but harder to kill, and so it is now. With the RIAA's waves of legal attacks driving experimentation with decentralized file-sharing tools, file-sharing networks have progressively traded efficiency for resistance to legal attack.

The RIAA has slowly altered the environment so that relatively efficient systems like Napster were killed, opening up a niche for more decentralized systems like Gnutella and Kazaa. With their current campaign against Kazaa in full swing, we are about to see another shift in network design, one that will have file sharers adopting tools originally designed for secure collaboration in a corporate setting. - More at http://www.shirky.com/writings/file-sharing_social.html

File-sharing app eDonkey comes to Mac OS
X 06/29/2004 01:58 PM
eDonkey announced on Tuesday that its peer-to-peer file-sharing software is coming to Mac OS X. Previously, Mac support was available only through a text-based command line interface in the software. eDonkey links every client on the network with each other, allowing them to search within both the entire network and a subset of it. Users can also download files from multiple users simultaneously and automatically continue interrupted downloads during their next session, in addition to the ability to send private messages to other users. The eDonkey application is not finalized for Mac OS X yet, but you can download a Beta of either the free or paid version from the developer's Web site. Both require Mac OS X v10.2 or higher and 64MB RAM; the free version has limited features and displays ads when you use it.

Online file swapping endures: What, exactly, is eDonkey?

Despite entertainment industry attempts to curb online song and movie swapping with lawsuits and education campaigns, more people than ever are using peer-to-peer services.

BigChampagne, which tracks Internet file sharing, says 8.3 million people were online at any one time in June using unauthorized services like Kazaa and eDonkey — up 19% from 6.8 million in June 2003.

The majority of files being traded were music, BigChampagne says. Porn videos and images were the second-biggest category.

The File Sharing Experiment

The File Sharing Experiment 08/05/2004 12:38 PM

The File Sharing Experiment is a project with the goal of demonstrating how file sharing actually helps the music, movie, and software industry. Folks are encouraged to post purchases they've made and a short explanation of how they learned about the band/movie/game and why they ended up buying something for it. All the evidence is anectdotal, but when taken together, it's already over a quarter million dollars in reported sales and the site has been up for one week.

Personally, this was the point I tried to make in the heyday of Napster. You could find anything on Napster, but rarely could you find complete albums, so the service had the effect of promoting CD sales. I would often surf others' music lists whenever I noticed things I liked, download the things I hadn't ever heard of, then I'd end up buying CDs from Amazon.

The Ups And Downs Of File Sharing

The Ups And Downs Of File Sharing 04/26/2004 11:53 AM
The latest Pew study says that 14% of American internet users claim they've stopped downloading music, but that the number of people downloading has been steadily growing again over the last few months. The study has a few problems, however. First, it's all based on asking people about their activities, and considering the publicity campaign, it's easy to imagine a heavy file sharer saying they don't download any music because they don't want to risk opening themselves up to a lawsuit. Furthermore, the study does not appear to distinguish between what kind of music is being "downloaded." They seem to lump together downloading unauthorized files, using paid download stores like iTunes, or even legitimate downloads directly from a musician's own website.

Faux File-Sharing

Faux File-Sharing 01/05/2005 11:29 AM

What consumers want—an out-of-box way to share and transmit files between different storage media and computers (and users)—is exactly what manufacturers don't want to give them, but they'll tease us a little. So, if you're really rich, DigitalDeck Entertainment Network is busting out an in-home network PC to gear to DVD sharing system that costs $4000 - $5000. It probably consists of a bunch of cables and a universal remote that your geeked-out younger brother could hack together himself.

file sharing = piracy? Not really. 01/16/2004 11:27 AM

An interesting Salon article: Is the war on file sharing over?:

If one is willing to believe the happy talk from music business executives, the tide has finally turned against file sharing, thanks to the get-tough tactics employed by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Last fall, the RIAA began filing lawsuits against individual users of peer-to-peer trading sites, and the strategy, the RIAA says now, has paid off. The group is careful not to declare a final victory over file trading, but things are finally beginning to look up for a business long in decline, say industry representatives. After years of scoffing at copyright laws, Americans are finally beginning to understand the gravity of file trading's offense against copyright.

The article is interesting. But what I find most interesting is this automatic alignment that is made in the media discourse between file sharing and piracy. There are many, many uses other than those the RIAA defines as illegitimate for file sharing (note, I am not saying anonymous file sharing, although there worthy uses for that too). Sure, the media loves a good fight and that's why the focus on this comparison. But the uses of sharing should, can, and will move beyond those in dispute. And not just for files, either.

Why am I saying this? Well, can't you guess?

Stay tuned. :-)

PaSaMuF: Document File Sharing

PaSaMuF: Document File Sharing 09/21/2002 04:43 PM
PaSaMuF is a new system to keep an eye on. A project of the German Hasso-Plattner-Institute for Software Systems Engineering, PaSaMuF is a filesharing system which indexes and shares common document types (Microsoft Word, Excel, PDF, HTML, XML, plain text, etc). PaSaMuF extracts information from the documents along with basic file metadata to ease searching. From the project page: The project goal is to implement a tool for sharing documents over the internet. Unlike Gnutella or Morpheus, the tool is meant to be used by small communities to have a simple and reliable document sharing/management solution that works cross-plattform. PaSaMuF is still in the planning stages. I checked out their forums and they seem to be making some good progress using existing tools to extract information from Microsoft Office and PDF documents. I wish this project luck, because the current state of document sharing in most work places is terribly primitive. Some are lucky enough to have a collaborative document writing tool like a wiki, but most are stuck emailing Microsoft Word documents around or storing them on a central Windows share. Any knowledge incorporated into these documents is difficult to get at, because they are impossible to search for. PaSaMuF could fill an important niche, by decentralizing storage and expanding the searchability of documents, providing immense benefit to its users, without having to pay for something expensive like the Google Search Appliance or a bloated, centralized content management system with a crappy web interface.

This is the latest of increasingly aggressive moves by IBM, the world's largest computer company, to grab market share as global information technology markets strengthen following three years of downturn. It comes as Microsoft is under pressure from corporate customers unhappy with security issues in its software and the cost of licences.
