The Barnes & Noble ReviewWhatever the ultimate fate of sites like Napster, peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing isn't going anywhere just yet -- as is evidenced by "post-Napster" technologies such as audioGnome, Gnutella, Aimster, iMesh, and Freenet. It's not just music sharing anymore, either. (And why should it be? All zeroes and ones look alike.)
Internet Piracy Exposed is an up-to-the-minute guide to all forms of Internet-based file sharing, P2P and otherwise. Guy Hart-Davis starts by helping you pull together all the hardware and software you need to become a major-league file sharer (on Windows, Linux, or Mac). You'll learn the file search techniques of the "pros"; and how to go beyond music to swap anything that can be digitized.
Hart-Davis shows how to make the most of new tools like Aimster that piggyback on instant messaging services, how to finally get something out of the NetMeeting conferencing software you already have, and how to use Hotline Connect to create your own personal, secure, file-sharing community.
You'll learn what's legal, what's not, what's secure, and what's vulnerable. What you do with this information will be up to you. (Bill Camarda)
