A new P2P file sharing network has been launched: EarthStation 5. It's servers are located in Jenin, Palestine.JENIN, West Bank, Aug. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to the email
received today from the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) to Earthstation 5 for copyright violations for streaming FIRST RUN movies over the internet for FREE, this is our official response!
Earthstation 5 is at war with the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the Record Association of America (RIAA), and to make our point very clear that their governing laws and policys have absolutely no meaning to us here in Palestine, we will continue to add even more movies for FREE.
ES5 (http://www.es5 .com) does not require any signups, registration, credit cards and/or any other personal information to watch the first rate streamed movies like TERMINATOR 3, BRUCE ALMIGHTY, MATRIX RELOADED, etc.
Our secure software protect our users who use our P2P application and there is nothing that you can do to stop us, says Ras Kabir, president of Earthstation 5.
"File-sharers world-wide are learning that our Earthstation 5 software hides the identities of its users and their IP addresses so they can now freely share their music and movies online without the threat of a lawsuit from the RIAA and/or the MPAA," said Kabair. (via boingboing)
UPDATE 10/03/03: DON'T INSTALL THIS - SEE THE COMMENTS FOR DETAILS
Looks like this is malware, or, in other words, DON'T INSTALL THIS!
Or, maybe not.
HOW TO USE ANTS P2P, which is a real and genuine anonymising p2p program, without the hype. Its still very new, with only about 20 regular users on the network.
You need to of course download it by doing a websearch for ants p2p!
1. Start it using Java webstart or by clicking on the antsp2p or jetiants file in the downloaded file directory.
2. Click “start ants” on the connections tab.
3. wait a long time until the irc chatroom connects
4. wait a long time until ants finds a peer to connect to.
5. Open the “query” tab, and do a search. You may need to click the tab at the top of the window, if it does not come to the front by itself.
6. Do a search using the search tab on the query page. The immediate results you get are a stored “memory” of past searches that the is built into the network – a full search takes a few minutes to complete. Wait, go have a coffee or something. At this stage the network is tiny, so try searches for dates i.e. 2003/2004 etc, or generic searches like “xvid” or “divx” or “cover” or file extensions like “txt/rar/zip etc. This way, you are more likely to find something that might possibly interest you, although at this stage getting files you really want to share is unlikely.
7. The search will show you if a file has a source currently online. It also shows sources that were recently (or less recently) seen available online. Select a source for download.
8. The IRC chatroom is NOT part of ants, it is “somewhere else on the internet”, and the ants chatroom is merely a gateway to it. The program uses the chatroom to find peers to connect to. You can use the chatroom to ask questions about ants, BUT remember that it is a public forum, so don’t say anything like “I swap loads of files and I’m sharing 5 Gig of bootleg stuff” because that is just asking for trouble, isn’t it?
Sharing illegal material is forbidden by law in most jurisdictions that have signed up to international copyright treaties.
9. Keep ants on even if you’re not downloading anything – help to stabilise and build the network.
10. Once you do find a file, download speeds can be quite fast.
11. If you are living in a repressive regime, ants lets you load webpages anonymously, so your political freedom to say what you want can be secured by ants, which allows for preservation of freedom of expression. This is an important aspect of the ants network. There is a file on the ants network called “how to create an ants http server”
