Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default File pass through, and no one paid any attention

For all of you who didn't pay any attention and poo poo'ed the idea of file pass through

"I'm publishing this in response to the closing of Audiogalaxy and the imminent closure of many net radio stations. This can't be closed. I never did like bullies.

Streamer is an internet radio program that allows anyone to broadcast streaming mp3 music, to an unlimited number of listeners, from an internet connection as humble as a 56k modem, and with the broadcasting pc being fairly untraceable.

It works by relaying the mp3 data stream from one listener to the next, forming a branching tree with the broadcasting pc at the base.
This is different to the normal method where all the listeners connect to a central server, and it means you don't need lots of server bandwidth. There is also no limit to the number of listeners, since each new one provides more relay bandwidth to the network.

It's also fairly untraceable because each streamer 'host' doesn't reveal any information about whether it is actually the transmitter or
not, or where it is getting it's signal from. And I plan to make it completely untraceable for broadcasters who wish.

This is a beta version, work in progress. There's no clever network optimisation yet, or stuff to handle when listeners leave without disconnecting other downstream listeners. You are likely to get disconnections for large audiences. It definitely works ok for half a dozen or so people though, all using 56k modems. Enough to play your tunes to your mates :-) "

Give it a rest. The fundaments of your proposal are wrong, as many here have tried to explain to you.
Perhaps a more careful examination of some of the rebuttals you have received...???

Ursula are you saying his application doesn't work?

From the description on the page, it looked like a decent scheme. I especially like the radio station discovery mechanism.

On the other hand, I didn't actually try it - what's the deal?

if anyone has ever downloaded and used "Radio Free Virgin" (a free Internet radio app from Virgin Records), you know that they use the same technology. By default, listeners also act as "relay" stations for other listeners, to help keep the bandwidth requirements low at Virgin's own servers. They've been doing that over 2 years by now, and with some mods, it would also work with Gnutella.

HOWEVER. This is not the same as what Unregistered (don't know if the Unregistered poster is the same one) suggested before, regarding "anonymous" file sharing by utilizing download pipes. Why not? This is relay streaming is trackable - in fact, it must be trackable in order to keep the stream quality up.

Altnet - AKA Kazaa's hidden CPU cycle taker uses PASS THROUGH !
And it's legal, and it makes the network look MORE LEGIT !!
Make your client more legit today !

"The big record labels and movie studios are suing many of the most popular file-swapping companies, hoping to put them out of business. But Altnet's work within the Kazaa network could show that the file-swapping system has a legitimate business use--an argument that could lead a court to say the network is perfectly legal."

Another thing that makes this legal is that a user can become like a ISP, just passing packets.
ISP's have not been held liable for content they "pass through" because they are just like the phone company and just supply a means to pass packet data.
So who's to say a user can't become a mini ISP?
Where does your ISP stop? What if your part of the ISPs system includes passing packets when you get a "signal" from your ISPs TCP/IP sent packet?

"Bermeister said the company had been testing the technology along with ad giants DoubleClick as a way to serve ordinary Web ads more quickly. Under this plan, an ad that a person sees on a Web site might be hosted by a nearby computer running Brilliant's Altnet instead of on a central ad server, as now typically happens with DoubleClick. "

Cool. Faster X10 popup ads

Here's someting to consider about the pasthrough and "acting as ISP" idea:

When is an ISP liable for the acts of its subcribers?

Specifically, it lists these requirements where an ISP is not liable for the actions of it subscribers under the DMCA:
  • the ISP must not obtain financial benefit from the infringement
  • the ISP must not have actual knowledge or awareness of facts indicating infringing transmissions, and
  • upon learning of an infringing transmission, the ISP must act quickly to remove or disable access to the infringing transmission

That's why ISPs will block certain users using P2P applications, but also the reason why the "acting as an ISP" reasoning won't get you far, especially now since you made it public knowledge by posting that idea here
