- Someone will make some kind of Encrypted P2P, they might know your moving files but won't know what they are.

- you still need to use hashing and direct ip connections, so encryption will be no help at all. It still has ways around it, and the industry can still figure it out and track it.

- exactly knight, people need educated on how the internet works... too many people think they can get away with anything...

- Yes, every packet is traceable, but if it's encrypted it doesn't matter where it originated or where it's going, because you don't know what's in it. Talk about basic understanding of networking...

- I think it will be a matter of waiting for the entertainment companies to realise what they could be missing out on… Maybe a little of that £10 to £15 per CD could go into research into secure formats.
File swapping could be used for legitimate sharing of media but would need strict licensing to protect intellectual property and rights associated with it.
Bottom line, not yet – P2P will be around for a while yet whether anyone likes it or not.
Yes, people can be traced along with what they are sending but again, is this the best use of money?

Is this any better?

- First of all, fileswapping is wrong but normal P2P is flawed, insecure and traceable. If you wanted a truely untraceable file exchange, you would need a server which contained a lookup of IP address versus an internal ID in a memory table and these ID would have to rotate randomly among client IP address. Each client would receive the list of IDs rather than IPs from the tracker server and this server would not mantain an permanent history of IP/ID pairs.

- There is an easier way to get an untraceable file exchange. I read about a program that allows users to share files with each other over an encrypted connection. Here is the website: waste.2mbit.com
And here is the article at Popular Science: http://www.popsci.com/popsci/internet/article/0,12543,487363,00.html

- How is it that the program Blubster says it is virtually untraceable because of its encryption methods?

The Australian company has been scrambling for months to find a way to convince record companies and movie studios that it is sincerely interested in becoming a legitimate, licensed distributor of mainstream entertainment content. It hasn't yet been successful -- Sharman and Kazaa, its file-swapping software, are still the target of lawsuits from the entertainment companies. Sharman hasn't struck any large-scale distribution deals with major studios or record labels.
According to a brief statement previewing the campaign, the print ads will be a "call to action to peer to peer (software) users to communicate the message that, given the chance, users will pay a fair price for movies, music and games from P2P networks."
