muttondressedaslamb Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Can someone translate for us non geeks, what is the site for, sharing tunes/movies? Aye but a lot more secure? Link to comment
caledonia Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Can someone translate for us non geeks, what is the site for, sharing tunes/movies? In a nutshell yes but as its encrypted locally before uploaded/downloaded you cant get caught neither can the site be taken down - but time will tell The new Mega encrypts anddecrypts your data transparently in yourbrowser, on the fly.You hold the keys to what you store in thecloud, not us.

dj_bollocks Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 It's just essentially filesharing... The only question is how easy it is to access what it is you want to download... Uploading is all nice and lovely but clearly it's the downloading that has everyone shitting themselves, particularly the existing file sharing sites such as Rapidshare, Megaupload, etc etc... With them if you have anything that looks like a copyright file they're now deleting it and sometimes even going so far as to ban you even though you've paid for the service... Of course if you've named your file thehobbit.avi then you deserve all you get, if you've called it q2hdo63swji.avi no one is going to know any better. It sounds like it just does option 2 and that instead of being a link that everyone can access the onus is more on the uploader to give the link/encryption key to downloaders individually - so it's not just simply a case of going to a warez site and downloading a link. Of course it might be giving you access to a cloud site which would be far more interesting. axxo is/was one of the higher quality rippers of movies, really took his time to make things perfect. If all axxos movie were available at a cloud site to download that would be quite interesting. It would be the equivalent of your facebook friends having access to your cloud just because you'd accepted their friend request. Of course that way there will still be plenty of ways to subvert the system but it would also be tough to prove if for some reason you gave someone from the FBI access to your cloud. If you've ripped a DVD that you own and put it in your cloud so that you can save space and access it anytime that you want, but you've given other people access to it to - you're clearly not in breach if they decide to acquire it from you. It's the 21st century equivalent of borrowing a DVD... Anyway, just rambling now, hypothetically it's an interesting concept, but it's still a little ambiguous... I haven't heard anything recently about the whole piracy letters thing that they were talking about, funny that... Link to comment
Jones Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 The law in Britain is pretty straight forward in regards to key disclosure, but I really like this idea as from what I can make of the regulation you are only required to disclose any private encryption keys under certain conditions: (3)A disclosure requirement in respect of any protected information is necessary on grounds falling within this subsection if it is necessary Link to comment

Its not the name that the likes of rapidshare target its a complex algorithm Link to comment
dj_bollocks Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Its not the name that the likes of rapidshare target its a complex algorithm So you're saying that if someone posts a link to http://uploaded.net/file/kbktkrei/The.Hobbit.2012.DVDScr.XVID.AC3.HQ.Hive-CM8.part1.rar it's not blatantly obvious for the file sharing site to identify what it is ?

daytripping Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Too many words in this thread, does this affect me? I've skim read it, didn't mean anything to me. Link to comment

NorthernLights24 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Must be another way to get inside surely? Like pirate bay? Seemed to be down earlier but working again for me now. I will probably give it a try over the coming weeks. Link to comment
Jones Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hmm bit clunky, it took 20 minutes to encrypt 500mb file, seems to work other than that though. Link to comment
Jones Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Anyone tried to download with firefox? It doesn't like firefox much as it doesn't fully incorporate HTML5. So, looks like you're going to need to use google chrome if you want to use this service. For now anyway. Link to comment
