Rdio : Les créateurs de Kazaa préparent un service de musique en ligne. Janus Friis et Niklas Zennstrom, les célèbres créateurs de Kazaa, ont l'intention de retourner sur le marché de la musique en ligne, avec de meilleures intentions au regard des maisons de disques. Depuis la vente du logiciel de Peer-to-Peer, les deux compères nordiques ont lancé avec succès Skype, qu'ils ont revendu à eBay, et échoué dans la vidéo avec Joost, maintenu sous perfusion.
Avec Rdio, ils espèrent renouer avec le succès, sur un marché pourtant déjà occupé, à la rentabilité douteuse. Le service financé par leur société de capital-risques Atomico Ventures permettra aux utilisateurs d'archiver et de partager de la musique en ligne, sur un navigateur, et d'y avoir accès en streaming depuis différents appareils mobiles. Il devrait largement s'inspirer du suédois Spotify, avec un mélange de service gratuit financé par la publicité et d'abonnement payant. "Nous avons vu beaucoup de services de musique basées sur la publicité aller et venir. Téléchargement illégal : Usenet poursuivi par la RIAA. Le P2P en perte de vitesse face au streaming : Hadopi inutile ? Occupant jusqu'à 90 % du débit, le P2P, de Napster il y a 10 ans à KaZaA et eMule, en passant par la technologie BitTorrent, est rapidement devenu l'ennemi numéro 1 de l'industrie du disque et du cinéma, et ce, partout dans le monde.
Pourtant, depuis une poignée d'années, la part du Peer-to-Peer ne cesse de régresser. Non pas du fait des pressions incessantes de la RIAA outre-Atlantique ou de ses équivalents dans nos contrées, mais du streaming. L'explosion des sites comme YouTube et Dailymotion (tous deux créés il y a à peine quatre ans) est symptomatique de cette situation. La pornographie, qui depuis la création d'Internet a toujours été présente, en est d'ailleurs l'un des meilleurs exemples. Nous titrions ainsi l'année dernière : Les sites Torrents X dominés par les vidéos pornos en streaming. Joost, créé par les fondateurs de Skype et KaAzA, a d'ailleurs abandonné en 2008 l'exploitation du P2P pour passer au streaming.
Nil Sanyas. Bulletin board system. Originally BBSes were accessed only over a phone line using a modem, but by the early 1990s some BBSes allowed access via a Telnet, packet switched network, or packet radio connection. Ward Christensen coined the term "bulletin board system" as a reference to the traditional cork-and-pin bulletin board often found in entrances of supermarkets, schools, libraries or other public areas where people can post messages, advertisements, or community news. By "computerizing" this method of communications, the name of the first BBS system was born: CBBS - Computerized Bulletin Board System. During their heyday from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s, most BBSes were run as a hobby free of charge by the system operator (or "sysop"), while other BBSes charged their users a subscription fee for access, or were operated by a business as a means of supporting their customers. As the use of the Internet became more widespread in the mid to late 1990s, traditional BBSes rapidly faded in popularity.
Audiogalaxy. Audiogalaxy ceased operations on January 31, 2013. History[edit] Audiogalaxy's stated mission was to facilitate sharing of music, though it was also notable for its strong community due to such features as chat-enabled groups and per-artist internet forums. This strong community also facilitated a very broad reach of content across many genres, particular those that tend to remain under-developed in more modern systems. In June 2008, CNET hailed this incarnation of Audiogalaxy as one of the greatest defunct websites in history.[1] Conflict with RIAA over sharing of copyrighted material[edit] On May 9, 2002, Audiogalaxy required songs to be in the sender's shared folder to be sent. Even though Audiogalaxy claimed that they were trying to cooperate with the music industry and block copyrighted songs from their network, many of the network's users continued to share unauthorized copyrighted music files, causing Audiogalaxy to face a lawsuit by the RIAA on May 24, 2002.
Relaunch[edit] Usenet. A diagram of Usenet servers and clients. The blue, green, and red dots on the servers represent the groups they carry. Arrows between servers indicate newsgroup group exchanges (feeds). Arrows between clients and servers indicate that a user is subscribed to a certain group and reads or submits articles. One notable difference between a BBS or web forum and Usenet is the absence of a central server and dedicated administrator. Usenet is distributed among a large, constantly changing conglomeration of servers that store and forward messages to one another in so-called news feeds. Individual users may read messages from and post messages to a local server operated by a commercial usenet provider, their Internet service provider, university, employer, or their own server. Introduction[edit] The articles that users post to Usenet are organized into topical categories called newsgroups, which are themselves logically organized into hierarchies of subjects.
Newsreaders[edit] Organization[edit] Napster. Later systems successfully followed and elaborated on Napster's file-copying methods, including Gnutella, Freenet, Bit Torrent and many others. Some systems, like LimeWire, Grokster, Madster and the original eDonkey network, were shut down or altered under similar circumstances. Origin[edit] Napster was co-founded by Shawn Fanning, John Fanning, and Sean Parker.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Initially, Napster was envisioned as an independent peer-to-peer file sharing service. The service operated between June 1999 and July 2001.[10] Its technology allowed people to easily share their MP3 files with other participants.[11] Although the original service was shut down by court order, the Napster brand survived after the company's assets were liquidated and purchased by other companies through bankruptcy proceedings.[12] History[edit] These reasons aside, many other users simply enjoyed trading and downloading music for free.
Macintosh version[edit] Legal challenges[edit] Promotional power[edit] eDonkey2000. eDonkey2000 (nicknamed "ed2k") was a peer-to-peer file sharing application developed by US company MetaMachine, using the Multisource File Transfer Protocol. The eDonkey client supports both the eDonkey2000 network and the Overnet network. On September 28, 2005, eDonkey was officially discontinued following a cease and desist letter from the RIAA (further info on the case). eDonkey2000 network[edit] Users on the eDonkey2000 network predominantly share large files of tens or hundreds of megabytes, such as CD images, videos, games, and software programs. MetaMachines has also created another file-sharing network called Overnet, which interoperates with the eDonkey network, but without the use of servers. eDonkey has been closed down, and if the user attempts to visit the site he/she will be shown a screen stating that eDonkey is unavailable and that the user's IP address has been logged.
Early history and design[edit] eDonkey logo eDonkey2000 client[edit] eDonkey sued by RIAA[edit] News[edit] Kazaa. Kazaa Media Desktop was commonly used to exchange MP3 music files and other file types, such as videos, applications, and documents over the internet. The Kazaa Media Desktop client could be downloaded free of charge; however, it was bundled with adware and for a period there were "No spyware" warnings found on Kazaa's website. During the past few years, Sharman Networks and its business partners and associates were the target of copyright-related lawsuits, related to the copyright of content distributed via Kazaa Media Desktop on the FastTrack protocol. History[edit] Kazaa and FastTrack were originally created and developed by Estonian programmers from BlueMoon Interactive[1] including Jaan Tallinn and sold to Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis (who were later to create Skype and later still Joost and Rdio).
Kazaa was introduced by the Dutch company Consumer Empowerment in March 2001, near the end of the first generation of P2P networks typified by the shutdown of Napster in July 2001. Download music, movies, games, software! The Pirate Bay - The world's most resilient BitTorrent site.
