The Kazaa Overlay

(1) When attacked, a decentralized organization tends to become even more open and decentralized. An example of this principle is when MGM a filed a lawsuit against Napster a decentralized organization, that caused the later to file for bankruptcy, but this incident did not stop people downloading music for free. A more decentralized Kazaa emerges and millions of free music were copied and downloaded (p.21).

tasks at the same time. Internet can be the way where people sell or buy drugs, or where people

Furthermore, different business considerations are taken into account. The system supportspartially closed protocols and it does not affect existing and future manufacturer’sproducts.

2) P2P is more reliable as the failure of one peer doesn’t affect the functioning of

When it comes to planning an entire system network is not a easy task. We need to explore the options and I plan on covering this in the essay and will go into brief details about several key concepts and explain key points in Peer to Peer (P2P) client / server architecture, web based computing and how network and their protocols are required for successful network implementation.

The purpose of this memo is to better understand how the cloud has changed the music industry for both artists and users. This is an evaluation of 5 of the most popular cloud-based music streaming applications. These applications allow people to have access to more music than ever before, wherever they are. Each app has different features that may make them appealing to different people, so it is important to evaluate them to see strengths and weaknesses.

We have discussed some common features, operations and performances of the applications including CAN, Chord, Pastry, Napster and Gnutella. It can be seen that while some schemes (Napster) are less complex to implement the bottleneck scalability proves a strong drawback. On the other hand, the other P2P networks applications even though being highly scalable may become very complex to implement. With respect to the selection of which network is suitable for a particular implementation of a peer to peer network, a careful consideration of factors such as security, scalability, routing performance would need to be considered to strike a balance between any

It can be argued that the music industry has expanded into countless genres, artists and record labels over the years since 2000 to become bigger than it has ever been. So where have all the sales gone? It’s more than evident that file sharing has become much more attractive to music fans than it once was. People haven’t lost their interest in music, but have instead found new ways of obtaining it. These File sharing software such as Azuerus give the everyday computer the ability to obtain any files it’s user would like with a good internet connection and a couple clicks of a mouse. In short, people no longer need to pay for any music that they would like to own.

P2p networking is a distributed application design that divides tasks or work between peers (students). Peers all have the same rights, equally participants in the application. They are said to form a peer to peer network of connection. P2p systems can be used to provide anonymized routing of network traffic, massive parallel computing environments, distributed storage and other functions. P2p applications allow users to control many parameters of operation how many member connections to seek or allow at one time whose systems to connect to or avoid what services to offer and how many system resources to give time to the network. Some connect to some of the connections in the network with little control for the user.

Reid, B. (2010) elaborates on the creative perspective of collaboration by citing an examples of the famous social networking site Facebook joining hands with formally-stable industry Zynga games to provide an additional feature to its users. This collaboration was a so successful that, the revenue of the both the industries boosted so high that marked a record breaking hits. As this helped them to

I am writing this reference for the request of Kamil Macheta. I have a pleasure to recommend him for admission into Technical University of Denmark. I have known Kamil as a student that I was fortunate to work with, during the period of his studies at Lublin University of Technology. As both Kamil’s professor of Computer Architecture and a supervisor of his Bachelor thesis, I have watched his personal development into a prospective engineer.

Today, there are exciting new trends in operations management and the market in which Netflix serves. Netflix accepted these trends and adapted to match the fast-paced production environment. Most notably, rapid product development has challenged managers to make operations as technologically smooth and effective as possible. In 2012, Netflix integrated a Netflix Cloud design for reliable operations and productions. The current design is a web, with each service having it’s own deployment schedule and innovation pace. Simply put, the Netflix approach has been to make internal operations a distributed system. The

The new wave of businesses and the myriad of terms which accompany – co-production, collaborative consumption, on-demand economy, now form today’s Sharing Economy; a hybrid of social exchanges and economic interests governed by reputation systems. Its commercial agenda is significant as previous notions of communitarian and cooperative vision which focused on personal experiential exchanges are now defined by a small number of firms backed by large amounts of venture capital. The sharing economy takes its inspiration from one tenet of the Internet culture: a belief in the virtues of openness. Openness and sharing go hand in hand: to make something is to stop it being a commodity. Economically, openness has two roles: it is an alternative to commerce, but it also generates new forms of commerce, and

In this case, the final product which is a ……. software must be available on 15/1/2016, at least, it has been mentioned that the final product will have been made by integrated three types of software products which are Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta. Therefore, Time is a key element in this project.

In 1998, the first websites to download free music appeared, thus making it possible for users to share mp3 files between one another online. These free sites caused CD sales to plummet 72% from 2000 to 2013. Spotify, founded in Sweden in 2006, came onto the online streaming music scene with the mission to let people listen to music they want, when they want and where they want. Spotify is different from the other sites like Napster and Limewire by giving customers legal access to a library of over 30 million pieces of music. Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon, the men behind Spotify, sought to find a way to give the public unlimited access to an exhaustive catalogue of songs, stored on servers and available online. Therefore, Spotify encourages people to abandon pirating by giving the public the ability for Internet users to get unrestricted access to music online, without breaking the law. Spotify offers two types of memberships: free and paid premium. The free users are able to listen on a phone, tablet, or computer with advertisements for a few minutes every hour. While the premium user pays $10.00 per month to listen without advertisements, unlimited skips, and the ability to listen offline. September 2011 Facebook and Spotify integrated with one another. However, Facebook did not offer Spotify exclusive access to its users. Regardless, Spotify was still able to gain about four million users after two months into its partnership with Facebook. Now, signing up for Spotify
