So it's just a slanging match of whether eMules dead or alive ?

I took my eMules machines pulse last night, ITS ALIVE !!!!

Uploaded Data: 5.27 TB, Downloaded Data: 2.16 TB, Runtime: 174 Days 16:11 Hours, Transfer Time: 174 Days 7:55 Hours (99.8%)( I hate Windows & reboots)......

What I want to know is whether we can save it from extinction via changing the way it functions, as I mentioned earlier in this topic, so emule/mod/whatever becomes not the victims, but the solution to P2P paranoia, and killing itunes on the way past ....

---------------------------------------

Soooooo, Maybe Emule does need a revamp, and a big one, here is my wild Idea, sorry Merkur, I know You won't like it, Movie studios etc want us for victims, lets make us victims the solution ...

Turn emule into their money pit, a version of emule incorporating, a "paypal" like system, Dedicated servers to manage it, and make them pay by, having a sliding scale on download costs,(wildly guessing) say 90% for copyrite holder(more than probably get now, if there is one...), 5% to Emule-Copyrite-management.org, for running it, & disbursement of funds, & 5% (maybe a spread via chunks d/l) to to clients that complete downloads, charging say $1 for a pre 2000 movie, cheaper for tv eps, and older, newer files up to $5 for New releases, THEY ( the idiots who want the FREE distribution Network taken down, would earn more money by people using a cost effective system, I think it would undercut Itunes etc ...

People &or neanderthals/movie studio executives who have BlueRay & DVD players will still buy a disk, to get bonus scenes of director havin a crap ....

People will still buy boxed sets, so they make their new friends be in awe of them & how much space, 1999(being kind) storage technology takes up....

.. and I maybe can help save at least bit of emule ...

I love emule 50a, and most previous versions, and will probably 50b if it happens, but there are bastards out there hunting Donkeys, Let's re-arm our asinus (Latin for Donkey), and come back fighting .....

-------------------------------


So anyone got the time to shoot me down in flames about this crazy idea ?

[hooligan3000]

turn eMule into a paysystem?

[JamesTQuirk]

hooligan3000, sorry but yes ...

I am proposing what I lot of other always said, "if they charged a fair price I would buy it"

I use my mule for a lot of NON copy-write mirrors of files from www.archive.org, old silents, Newsreel, Sci-fi, Movies, and they are constantly uploaded ...

ed2k://|file|1919%20-%20Ernest%20Shackleton%20-%20South%20-%20Silent.avi|734015488|7375652A1BCA89E5EF9E938F009E1324|h=IHPB4BCEVF737675IYLBGGIBOUJ6NC6L|/

a 700meg silent, has been uploaded 19.29 GB worth, so people are using my connection, it's unlimited, so I don't care, but it would be nice if it helped to pay the internet bill ....

All I am saying by formalising it, for copywrited files, the Copywrite holders would see more money, P2P gets a dedicated server/index/payment system, and us P2P users can be the solution and not the problem ..

Don't forget that you would have to pay for your downloads.

Funny. Those guys would be the only ones with profit.

You might neeto go to Feature Requests subforum and read sticky topics there.

Well some others apparently See what I am talking about, I was pointed @ This, Yesterday ....

Yes the copywrite owner who made it, Not Studio's unless they hold it...


I have been to feature requests, many times, over many years, in Different Nicks, BUT this is where this Post started, I DID not start it, But am just having my 2 cents worth, or do you think YOUR the one in charge of CONTENT ?, Just to shut down things u don't won't to think about ?
