Has the Microsoft inner echelon finally come into agreement with me (my world is very self-centric). A team of Microsoft engineers recently presented this paper to the Association of Computing Machinery concluding that there's no means of stopping illegal file sharing, that the "darknet" - their term for networks of content sharers - is with us to stay. "There seem to be no technical impediments to darknet-based peer-to-peer file sharing technologies growing in convenience, aggregate bandwidth and efficiency." Consequently, "increased security (e.g. stronger DRM systems) may act as a disincentive to legal commerce." MS-Word document, naturally. A summary of the paper is available here.CRLF
