LIMEWIRE is dead.... welcome to frostwire!!! (1 Viewer)

[bitchgirl]

Based on the fact that LimeWire is going to implant some type of DRM filtering in to it's client, making it useless for the people who want to breach copyright laws and following the destructive ways of RIAA's command, a group of developers has decided to work on a project called FrostWire.

The P2P world is changing so fast that it is hard to cope with all of the new P2P programs released and shut down. Just lately we have seen the shutdown of WinMX, Ares becoming open source and LimeWire deciding they will implant filtering in to their clients.

The FrostWire team hopes to build a program very similar to LimeWire and hopes to follow it's design philosophy (so far they are doing a very good job at it). They also promise us that they will not be making a PRO version and that the program will remain strictly non-profit and free of any bundled software, including any ads.

FrostWire is currently receiving such huge publicity that they are hardly managing the project right now. But, no doubt the team will manage it, and they are already working on the FrostWire's design and their website design (which currently appears on Wikipedia).

so they're explicitly telling the world that their program is specifically targeted at people who intend to breeach copyright laws?

No, they're telling the world that a very small minority of people used their program to breach copyright and that to avoid being sued they are implimenting this DRM filtering.

I'll agree to that....when I have the money

I started using Limewire about a year ago and it was pretty wicked back then but like everyone's been saying, too many corrupted/fake files nowadays.

Can som1 plz explain wat is DRM filterin plz n its effect on my comp?? (ie: is it bad or good)

 

[treelovinhippie]

DRM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management

So DRM filtering is either a way to get around the DRM protection or to remove it altogether.

DRM = bad
Sony = tried to use DRM root kits = bad
But still, DRM = easily cracked = Microsoft is stupid

BitTorrent is the premier distribution medium by far.

bittorrent is so slow.

 

[treelovinhippie]
