Was Digiworld Ltd. macht? Keine Ahnung. Habe nichts dazu gefunden. Meine Vermutung ist aber, folgende:
Da der Typ nicht wirklich programmieren kann,
weil er aber Geld dafür springen lässt, dass andere das für ihn machen,
wegen der Firma, die übrigens unter seiner Privatadresse angemeldet ist
und weil – zumindest im Moment – der Quellcode nicht offen liegt, schließe ich auf ein wirtschaftliches Interesse.
@philharmoni:
1. Gut recherchiert, Columbo
2. Du könntest mit deiner Vermutung bzgl. des wirtschaftlichen Interesses gar nicht soweit von der Wahrheit entfernt liegen. Ich denke, das wird sich mittelfristig rausstellen
Ist ja auch nicht wirklich weit her geholt. Die Zeit der anonymen p2p-Systeme rückt immer offensichtlicher heran. Sobald Programme verfügbar sind, die gut arbeiten, echte Anonymität versprechen und einigermaßen verbreitet sind, wird keiner mehr bei nicht-anonymen Systemen bleiben wollen. Es öffnet sich daher ein riesiger Markt und die Ersten kriegen dann meistens auch das größte Stück vom Kuchen.
Ich erinnere in diesem Zusammenhang z.B. an
Proxyshare, das IMO ebenfalls auf dieser Schiene mitzufahren versucht.
Mit Filesharing lässt sich bekanntlich richtig viel Geld verdienen. Die Betreiber von Morpheus und Napster sind damit reich geworden. Ich habe zwar nirgends offzielle Zahlen gefunden, aber wenn der Kazaa-Betreiber Sharman Networks 100 Millionen Dollar Schadenersatz zahlen kann, wird es wohl so sein.
Zum Thema Kazaa bzw. Sherman Networks habe ich in einem Thread auf Heise gelesen, daß anscheinend ein undurchsichtiges Firmenkonglomerat aus Asien den Laden finanziell unterstützt. Das halte ich nicht für so abwegig, denn mal eben so 100 Mio. USD an Schadenersatz abzudrücken dürfte wohl nur für sehr wenige Firmen und noch weniger für Privatleute möglich sein...
Sorry I don't speak much German.
For this I appologise so I am going to have to write this in English.
I have been participating in the ANts p2p project since its start.
I was one of the first testers.
I have over many months, no years, learned to program in Java by looking at its code and trying to understand it.
I have attempted on one previous occassion to write a mod (not H****t p2p that was Bitz).
However, my lack of knowledge of the basics really slowed me down. I could code sending encrypted messages between peers etc but I could not redesign the GUI which I would have thought was easier.
I have spoke to G***n over the years by email. Some time he has been very helpful at other times less so.
But after starting to code kerjodando, I now really fully understand where he is coming from and why the coding, testing and updating of ANts p2p is so stop and start.
For example, after I made the first beta of kerjodano p2p, I found a major bug in ANts p2p (does not involve security but really slows down file transfer). So I, along with my developer in China, tested it and tested it but could not find a reason for this bug. So I contacted Gwren and told him about it.
Wihtin minutes he replied pointing out, in so many words what I have long suspected, that ANts p2p code was now a "mud ball". It has so many features and changes that even Gwren can't sort out the bugs.
So I have decided to do the following:
1.Code a mod for ME and MY friends to use (if anyone else wants to use it they are free to do so).
2.Not to permanetly alter any ANts p2p code in my mod without Gwren's approval and him making the same alteration to the ANts p2p code.
3.To put ease of use at the top of my priorities.
4. As this software is for my personal use, to pay to have it coded, as I have a day job and four children and a wife. They would not be very impressed if I spent all my time coding. Plus others want to code and can do it better than me.
5.kerjodando p2p will be open source and documented.
6.If you want to be involved in the project (you don't need to speak English) please email (
ezzy.elliott@gmail.com) me.
7. BTW I am a Capitalist though my day job is working for a non-profit international humanitarian organisation. Eventually I hope kerjodando p2p will be good enough to be popular but if it is not, no problem, as long as my friends LOVE it, that's fine.
8.Once I have developed kerjodando p2p as far as it can go I then propose to start to pay for the clean up of the ANts p2p "mud ball" code. This will however be with the agreement and co-operation of G***n. The work to be done either via bountys; volunteers for free; or by Chinese professionals (paid for).
There, that is the plan.
So far it has been going great.
While testing I have discovered loads of new music.
I have had some hold ups. My wife is pissed off from me being on the PC so much so I have had to cut back.
My coder in China is not immune to the same issues as he has been held up several times by family commitments.
Also, I am moving to Paris from London to learn French and expand my network of friends.
So that's it.
