> Way to go, old friend! And I thought the Emule network was dead, good to hear they're doing well. > Those saying 'Why use P2P apps if you have nothing illegal to share' are the same ones saying, 'Why need privacy if you have nothing to hide'. Couldn't agree more. Everyone of us, including myself, has something to hide. Some of the more extreme motivations behind the attempts to push for more control on communications simply don't stand: "it could be used for child porn" is no different to "it could be used for drugs trading" applied to normal cellphone communications. Just let communications protocols alone, then divert more funding to intelligence technologies and training rather than giving police military weapons. > Long live P2P. The more protocols in active development the better. Agreed, though it would be nice if nodes could interoperate with different protocols. In the old days the wonderful Napster OSS compatible client Lopster was rewritten to be compatible with pretty much all known p2p protocols back then, but before it was ready BitTorrent came and became the standard, so it's currently stagnating/dead. http://lopster.sourceforge.net/ http://lopster.sourceforge.net/
