A few years ago when KaZaa ruled the P2P world, big corporations started dreaming about how they can maximize their profits and stop the bleeding that file sharing had caused them. Fast forward to today, and KaZaa is virtually dead. BitTorrent however is still alive, but barely. Demonoid, perhaps the best torrent file-sharing site, has bit the dust as the Canadian Record Industry has threatened the site’s web host. Come to think of it, it’s a fairly smart strategy. Instead of going after the heart of Demonoid (its users), they have gone after its very soul. Of course, Demonoid owners could actually set up their own servers and host their site privately, but then they will be vulnerable again as these big corporations have smelled the blood and they are going for the kill. P2P will live for a while longer, but I can’t see how the community can sustain these waves of attacks: Attack On Hosts, Owners, and individual users. Certainly doesn’t look good!
