If VTR succeeds it will make torrents invulnerable to takedowns.
But people torrenting will still be tracked down, so it is not the full solution.
You will still need a vpn service.
I guess that is why Mega build encryption into their uploads and therefore downloads.......
so why can't you have VPN & torrent client capabilities built into vTorrent? A one stop shop! Other coins are adding VPN, why not vTorrent!
I agree that rights holders are about to get much more vigorous prosecuting jo & jane citizen to create a deterrent effect, and when that happens people aren't going to feel good about paying for stuff they've been getting for free, especially under 30's who'll freak out if they were suddenly charged $30 for a CD, which is what I used to pay regularly in my younger days.
Whoever offers a user friendly one-stop-shop that offers anon torrent downloading will seriously clean up. Might as well be vTorrent!
edit: as an aside, IMO the only viable route for rights holders is to buy out ISP's on a global scale, then 'tax' everyone via their broadband charges. Like a VAT or GST charged on every MB downloaded, so digital content is given away free, but everyone pays a little bit for genuine distribution to copyright holders. Can anyone seriously be downloading 100 GB a month without downloading a lot of movies, music etc?
Hello all,
Unfortunately,
ancientOne1 is right about this issue, I don't have any plan to prevent problem with ISP tracking down users downloading or uploading illegal content with torrent at this point, but when we have torrent implemented in our client, torrents should be invulnerable to takedowns.
Keep in mind that any feature can be implement in the future, there will likely be many more functions add to our client to improve functionalities and not limited to torrents.
My ultimate goal is to bring in and introduce new people to crypto-currency with our project and our currency.
Regards,
vTorrent
If you want to keep your private files private the answer is pretty simple: Encrypt the data first.
The vTorrent roadmap should include the ability to reference encryption, even if using third party tools like
Encrypt to do the actual encryption.
The seeder rating system should help deal with people that encrypt malware, and people will upload all sorts of crap.
If I want to upload videos of me naked in the shower, then I would prefer it if I could encrypt the file before it gets seeded.
http://gizmodo.com/5977265/how-megas-encryption-will-protect-you-but-mostly-kim-dotcomIs it a perfect solution? No. But it protects that network users a little more and it gives me a little more protection because videos of me in the shower are not for ISPs to look at or index.
I would also add indexing tools to enable users to not index in certain countries of their choosing. So as a user, I can opt out of anything to do with the USA - whether its uploading my naked shower videos and making sure they don't get listed for download in the USA; or accidentally downloading my girlfriends naked shower video which she uploaded for me to access while she was on holiday in Florida.
