2005: I Expressen talas det om ny "ny mjukvara", Darknet, som skall gör det möjligt att byta information anonymt och låta fildelarna vinna upphovsrättskriget en gång för alla. Jag ser att Copyriot hittade samma sak i Aftonbladet och visar hur okunnig och missvisande notisen var. Jag skall inte upprepa Rasmus Fleischers kritik utan i stället gör jag en sammanfattning av det "papper" som myntade det underbara begreppet "darknet" 2002: "The Darknet and the Future of Content Distribution" (.pdf), skrivet av fyra forskare på Microsoft. Jag kan ju avslöja att deras framtidsprediktion inte var speciellt ljus för upphovsrättsindustrin. Grundidén är att folk har information. Om de vill kopiera denna och överföra mellan sig gör de det. Det uppstår då spontana nätverk. Ett tidigt exempel är "the sneaker net", dvs transport med hjälp av gympadojjor! Man travade i vänkretsen hem till varandra med kopierade musikkasetter och videos. Medlemsskap i nätet skedde genom att...

Abstract: We investigate the darknet – a collection of networks and technologies used to share digital content. The darknet is not a separate physical network but an application and protocol layer riding on existing networks. Examples of darknets are peer-to-peer file sharing, CD and DVD copying, and key or password sharing on email and newsgroups. The last few years have seen vast increases in the darknet’s aggregate bandwidth, reliability, usability, size of shared library, and availability of search engines. In this paper we categorize and analyze existing and future darknets, from both the technical and legal perspectives. We speculate that there will be short-term impediments to the effectiveness of the darknet as a distribution mechanism, but ultimately the darknet-genie will not be put back into the bottle. In view of this hypothesis, we examine the relevance of content protection and content distribution architectures.
The Just Net Coalition -- whose membership roll includes leading human rights organisations from across the global south -- have written urgently to the World Wide Web Coalition and its founder, Tim Berners-Lee, calling on him to intervene to stop the Consortium from publishing its first-ever DRM standard, a system for restricting video streams called Encrypted Media Extensions.
