Anthill: A Framework for the Design and Analysis of Peer-to-Peer Systems

P2P considers interest of the user and the frequency of nearest neighbours this makes efficient file sharing between user’s. Interest extraction identifies nodes’ interests; Community construction builds community according to the interest of communities. Files are also retrieved on the social network within limited time span. Thus the files can be transferred efficiently between

P2P: P2P (Peer-to-peer) is a networking application that partitions tasks or workloads. P2P works once opening its application/app, once opened it will form a peer-to-peer network of modes. P2P violates copyright laws to reproduce and distribute copyrighted music, pictures, software, etc.

Today, most people who download music illegally do it by using new peer-to-peer networks like BitTorrent. The BitTorrent protocol is for of handling a lot of data very quickly and is very popular for people who upload and download copies of movies and television programs that have no license. In more recent years, dozens of major record labels and Hollywood studios have begun offering legal videos and tracks through BitTorrent in order to distribute their content on their own terms and avoid the pirating of their content.

“Comcast blocked all encrypted traffic to BitTorrent back in 2007, they claimed it was because BitTorrent was used for copyright infringement…” (eff). But Comcast didn’t take into account the users who weren’t pirating. I’m not going to deny piracy being an issue with the free internet because it will be. This is a problem many internet providers try to push to gain support. It’s hard to strike a balance where we can protect the people’s right to speech and knowledge and also keep piracy low. Plus it’s very difficult to stop piracy that happen worldwide because each country has their own policy on

File sharing allows users to use software that connects into a network to search for shared files from other users. You are allowed to download any of the content that is on the file sharing account. Peer to peer, P2P, is sharing that allows you to access files such as books, music, movies, and games. Bit torrent is a peer-to-peer file transfer protocol for sharing large amounts of data over the Internet. All of these resources are surprisingly not illegal and can be used by anyone.

In the short time that computers and internet have existed in the modern era, the world has seen a complete 360 degree turn and in the various forms of electronic entertainment that people all over the world are now using. In the days before CD’s, DVD’s and the internet, not much was said if a vinyl album (remember these?), VHS cassette (or these?) or an audio cassette was loaned to a friend for their listening / viewing pleasure, but today with the availability of sending an email with three or four megabytes (mb) of information, one can enjoy a borrowed song but is assumed that it is piracy or stealing. Is this a fair assumption? This Author will not give

The downside of file sharing brings in more problems such as viruses and hackers to many people's computer systems. With the files being in a person's hard drive, the risk of downloading from another person's computer and acquiring a virus unknowingly is growing greater and greater. More people are able to get into a person's system and complete annihilate a person's hard drive. Even Internet security has become a major issue and identity theft is on the rise. Regulating such sites (including Napster) is important to the consumer. The legal responsibilities of the music companies and the government are far greater than they had expected by ensuring the safety of the communities they serve.

The internet in today’s day and age is a huge part of everyday life. Some people use it to make business calls, or have their own website for their store, and even send important information to others all around the globe. However, there are also websites such as piracy sites that allow users to download copyrighted material

The music industry claims to be suffering losses in large amounts due to pirates. Apparently billions of dollars of money that could have been made is being taken away. Peer-to-peer file sharing, born from the advancement of modern technology, has been a large aspect of the internet for a couple of years, but still the music industry cannot figure out how to use it to their advantage. The truth is that file sharing should be viewed as a good thing for the music industry because it proves beyond any reasonable doubt that this industry is stricken with flaws; music software is unrealistically expensive; industry based promotional techniques for bands are ineffective; and as a whole, the music industry is using ancient methods of operation.

Ever since 18-year-old Shawn Fanning created Napster in his Northeastern University dorm room in 1999, downloading and sharing music online has become one of the most popular things to do on the Internet today. But why wouldn't it? Getting all your favorite songs from all your favorite artists for free, who wouldn't want to start sharing music? The answer to that question are the people who feel that stealing from the music industry is not morally right, because that is exactly what every person who shares music is doing. People who download music think it's something they can get away with but now it might be payback time to a lot of those people.

Search techniques for unstructured P2P overlays are typically categorized in blind and informed [41, 43].

As broadband internet technology continues to flourish, the price of software continues to increase. Some people have the opinion that software costs too much which leads them to pirate software at a lower price as it is expensive to purchase it commercially [9]. This is beneficial to the people that suffer financially and don’t have a good paid job which is likely to help them with the cost of the software. Pirating software also comes in handy for the university students as it is not always available at low cost and most good software costs hundreds to thousands and this is the amount that students can’t afford when it comes to purchasing software such as Microsoft in order to get their projects and assignments done without money to purchase the original software. Therefore, software piracy casts significant benefits to those who cannot afford the software at such a great price. With some consumer software packages costing up to $500, the amount of money saved by pirating is not negligible [9]. Consumers also believe that manufactures are not hurt by pirates making illegal copies of their

Abstract— In today 's applications, a server generally limits the permitted transfer speed to one-I P location. This can enthusiastically slow the speed of the downloading process and decrease the unwavering quality of exchanging an expansive document in the perspective of one singular user. With a specific end goal to enhance speed of the downloading process for a specific customer, we consider the utilization of various intermediaries to offer the

Years ago high speed Internet in Bulgaria was a dream and downloading music files or movies was taking a lot, a lot of time. “Things have changed nowadays and consumers in Bulgaria, as well as in most Western countries are already used to the quick links and handle with it like something normal and essential.” They know that the speed by which they open sites and download content depends mainly on the tax they pay to their supplier. Imagine, however, that by tomorrow the speed of the Internet depends on another factor - which site we open. “This can lead to a situation in which we, again, have a connection to ours favorite sites as slow as it was before, although we pay the same tax to the supplier, while subscribers of competing

BT (Bit Torrent) downloading divides a file into many parts, and user will download different parts from different users at the same time to achieve a higher speed and decrease the load of download servers. [3]
