I'm failing to see the connection between magnet links to download copyrighted material and searching for an ISBN.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoISBN numbers have identified copyrighted works since 1967.
- SolarNet 10y agoMagnet links are basically just deterministically computed ISBNs for arbitrary data. Here is the magnet link for a zero length file. magnet:?xt=urn:ed2k:31D6CFE0D16AE931B73C59D7E0C089C0&xl=0&dn=zero_len.fil How is that different than: 978-0262510875 "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs - 2nd Edition"
