Torrent or Emule which one safer against anti piracy companies?

[nihil]

Hi there boyboy,

Neither are secure per se. As with most security it is a case of taking precautions and behaving sensibly.

Emule is old, slow and forces you to upload (distribute)....... that would tend to make it a definite no no for the latest albums and Hollywood blockbusters. It is the place where you might expect to find old and obscure stuff. Torrents are usually faster and currently fashionable which is probably why they are being targeted. Both can be tracked, so I would suspect that emule has far less content that is actively protected by its copyright holders?

Personally, I don't think I would want to download an HD DVD in 10MB chunks with potentially very few people having them available

EDIT:

I have re-read the newspaper report and noticed that you Canadian guys have new copyright legislation.................urrrgh! statutory penalties are real bad news.............. that encourages little slimeballs to go after everything and anything.

My personal recommendation and request is that you cool it for a while until we have seen some more court cases?

Over here they would have to put forward a reasonable case that they had suffered potential monetary loss, so if they are not selling or leasing, they have no case. It would be a technical infringement involving a fine of maybe 1 cent and they (the appellant) would get the honour of paying all costs...............including my pub lunches.........

Just for interest, I was made redundant from my position in the recording industry in 1979...................the reason was a downturn in revenue due to piracy using diskette tape players. They never thought that it might be their obsolete 1960's business model?

Oh Well!
