Телеграм для бумеров. Прекращает работу Skype, который подарил нам роскошь бесплатных разговоров в 2003 году

Скриншот домашней страницы Skype в 2004 году Казалось бы, совсем недавно, в 2013 году мы отмечали десятилетний юбилей Skype и перечисляли заслуги этого P2P- софтфона перед человечеством. В то время он ещё бурно развивался, росла аудитория, внедрялись уникальные (для того времени) функции: передача файлов в чате , синхронизация сообщений на разных устройствах , а также недокументированные опции вроде подключения сторонних клиентов , что стало возможным после реверс-инжиниринга официального клиента Skype российским хакером efimich . По степени революционности, программистского новаторства и роста аудитории Skype в 2003−2012 гг. был чем-то вроде мессенджера Telegram в 2013−2020 гг (любопытно, что разработчики Skype базировались в Таллинне/Эстония, а Telegram — в Дубае/ОАЭ, в обоих случаях необычные локации). Когда Skype вырос почти до максимальной аудитории, его купила Microsoft. Зачем? Предположительно, для мобильной платформы Windows Phone или чтобы заменить Windows Live Messenger на десктопах. Ходила версия про контракт с АНБ . Всё равно везде под Windows использовался Skype, так что покупка казалась логичной. Но вышло не очень…

#Skype is being shut down. There’s a lot to be said about #Microsoft’s mismanagement of it. But here is a bit of tech history. Skype was created by the creators of #Kazaa, a popular file sharing app. Kazaa, to my knowledge, was the first application of NAT hole-punching, that allowed two machines behind network address translation to connect directly to each other. This is the fundamental tech breakthrough that made Skype a viable video conference app and that all video call applications rely on today.

Lo stato del P2P nel 2023

Da qualche tempo la scena del Peer To Peer sta cambiando, negli anni sono stati tanti e ripetuti gli inutili tentativi di affossare queste tecnologie sulle quali ancora oggi si basa l’intera Internet. Lo stigma principale è quello legato alla violazione del copyright da parte delle persone che usano questi sistemi, una realtà che incide in modo ininfluente sul business multimilionario dei diritti d’autore. Ad oggi nel mondo non risulta alcuna etichetta discografica, casa di produzione cinematografica o software house che abbia mai chiuso i battenti per via dei download illegali, mentre sono centinaia le persone rovinate a vita per aver scritto software come limewire (2010), morpheus (2008), o winmx (2005) ad esempio. La nostra criticità riguardo l’accanimento giudiziario verso questi software deriva dal fatto che questi strumenti oltre a permettere la condivisione di file protetti da copyright, in realtà agevolano la distribuzione di contenuti open che provengono da circuiti indipendenti, incoraggiano la libertà di parola nei sistemi totalitari che impongono la censura o semplicemente sono usate da fonti del tutto legittime (come ad esempio i dati delle tasse Inglesi distribuiti grazie ai torrent, così come i trailer di diversi film oppure i file di installazione delle distribuzioni GNU/Linux).

Di seguito vi lasciamo ad un ottimo articolo scritto da Carlos Baquero che approfondisce questo tema, lo abbiamo tradotto automaticamente per lasciarvi una breve citazione, il resto potete leggerlo seguendo il link in fondo questo piccolo estratto:

I sistemi peer-to-peer (P2P) sono diventati famosi all’inizio del millennio, soprattutto grazie al supporto per la condivisione diretta di file tra gli utenti. Negli anni ’80, l’industria musicale si era evoluta dalla vendita di dischi in vinile analogici a compact disc digitali, ma con l’introduzione di tecniche di compressione dei dati con perdita di dati come il formato di codifica MP3, divenne possibile caricare/scaricare file musicali sui personal computer degli utenti. . Tuttavia, i contenuti dovevano essere catalogati e trovati e sono emersi sistemi P2P per fornire tale funzionalità.

Alcuni dei primi sistemi, come Napster e SETI@Home, mostravano un mix di P2P e classica architettura client-server. Gnutella e Freenet, la seconda generazione di sistemi, fornirono un maggiore grado di decentralizzazione. L’emergere del P2P ha avuto un forte impatto sui modelli di business dell’industria musicale e, successivamente, di quella cinematografica. Con il tempo, questi settori si sono evoluti per offrire tariffe forfettarie e servizi in abbonamento, diminuendo gli incentivi per la copia/condivisione di file musicali/video.

Netflix e altri servizi in abbonamento sono una conseguenza del P2P, ma cosa è successo al peer-to-peer come concetto tecnologico?

Protocolli e Client P2P

In questi ultimi anni le reti che non hanno ceduto ai vari giri di vite dei governi locali sono quelle ancora oggi maggiormente usate e quelle meglio progettate per resistere alla censura, in particolare parliamo del protocollo IPFS, dei file TORRENT, del protocollo ED2K e della rete IRC.

IPFS

IPFS è un progetto open source che attinge alle idee introdotte dalla valuta digitale decentralizzata Bitcoin e dal sistema di condivisione file peer-to-peer BitTorrent. I siti aderiscono a IPFS e il protocollo distribuisce i file tra gli utenti partecipanti. Se il server web originale non funziona, il sito continuerà a vivere grazie ai backup eseguiti sui computer di altre persone. Inoltre, questi archivi distribuiti consentiranno alle persone di sfogliare le versioni precedenti del sito, proprio come si possono sfogliare le vecchie modifiche su Wikipedia o le vecchie versioni di siti web nella Wayback Machine. Il browser Brave permette di collegarsi ai link prodotti dai nodi IPFS.

IPFS:

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_File_System

TORRENT

Quest’anno il protocollo BitTorrent ha compiuto 22 anni. Creato da Bram Cohen ha rivoluzionato il modo di condividere contenuti su Internet introducendo un nuovo sistema per la condivisione dei file in modalità peer-to-peer (P2P).

BitTorrent resta popolare ancora oggi tanto che non si contano i client che permettono di collegarsi alla rete e ottimizzare i trasferimenti. Anche alcuni browser come ad esempio Brave, permettono il download diretto di file torrent.

TORRENT:

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent

ED2K

Dal 2004 ad oggi la rete Edonkey2000 è ancora molto diffusa, troviamo infatti ancora molti siti che ne annunciano la rinascita di mese in mese e soprattutto l’uscita della nuova versione del client riscritta dalla community un mese fa (https://github.com/irwir/eMule/releases/) ne assicura ancora un’ottima longevità su Windows assieme al fork aMule che su Linux è ancora tra i più diffusi ed aggiornati. Ad oggi il server più attivo conta 70.000 utenti e 35 milioni di file.

ED2K:

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDonkey

IRC

Anche sulla rete IRC ancora si trovano tanti canali dedicati alla condivisione di file e nonostante siano uno dei sistemi più antidiluviani, tante persone ancora si affidano a questo network.

IRC:

Il futuro del P2P

Per ora non sappiamo cosa ci riserverà il futuro del P2P, ma di certo non si fermerà qui come questo articolo ha cercato di spiegare. Lo scambio di file e la loro indicizzazione sono due sistemi alla base di internet stessa e non se ne può fare a meno, la creazione di nodi e la diffusione di informazioni fa parte della capacità di comunicare insita nella natura umana, nessuno, nemmeno le corporazioni transnazionali o le IA, potranno cambiare o impedire mai questa tendenza.

Augurandoci che via siano piaciute queste righe, vi salutiamo e vi ringraziamo per averci letto.

listnening to the latest mp3s on my #dick #smith #dicksmith mp3 player #kazaa

In the early 2000s, the music industry faced a seismic shift with the advent of Napster, the brainchild of Sean Fanning and Shaun Parker. This peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing service revolutionised the way people accessed music, allowing users to download MP3s directly from each other without a central server. The result was a massive surge in music piracy, with Napster amassing 80 million users at its peak. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) was not amused, filing lawsuits that eventually led to Napster’s shutdown in 2001. However, the damage was done; the internet had irrevocably changed.

Following Napster’s demise, services like Kazaa and LimeWire rose to prominence. Kazaa, launched by Scandinavian developers in 2001, was notorious for its closed-source software, which meant users often downloaded mislabeled files and viruses. The RIAA continued its fight against piracy by suing Kazaa users directly, a tactic that eventually led to Kazaa’s decline after a $100 million settlement with MGM in 2006.

LimeWire, created by Harvard, Yale, and Stanford alumnus Mark Gorton in 2000, was equally problematic. It was riddled with adware, malware, and spyware, making it a hazard for any computer. Despite these issues, LimeWire remained popular until its shutdown in 2010, following a court ruling that found Gorton and LimeWire guilty of copyright infringement and unfair competition. The music industry initially sought $72 trillion in damages, a figure so absurd that it was eventually settled for $105 million.

The rise and fall of these P2P services highlighted a crucial point: while people often seek free content, they are also willing to pay for it when there is mutual trust and respect. This realisation led to the development of legal streaming services like Spotify, which offers unlimited music for a reasonable monthly fee. This evolution is a testament to the internet’s capability to adapt and provide better solutions while reducing the risks associated with piracy.

In conclusion, the story of Napster, Kazaa, and LimeWire serves as a cautionary tale and a lesson in adaptation. The internet’s ability to transform and evolve has led to more sustainable and user-friendly ways to access content, proving that innovation often arises from chaos.

In conclusion, the story of Napster, Kazaa, and LimeWire serves as a cautionary tale and a lesson in adaptation. The internet’s ability to transform and evolve has led to more sustainable and user-friendly ways to access content, proving that innovation often arises from chaos.

In the early 2000s, the music industry faced a seismic shift with the advent of Napster, the brainchild of Sean Fanning and Shaun Parker. This peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing service revolutionised the way people accessed music, allowing users to download MP3s directly from each other without a central server. The result was a massive surge in music piracy, with Napster amassing 80 million users at its peak. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) was not amused, filing lawsuits that eventually led to Napster’s shutdown in 2001. However, the damage was done; the internet had irrevocably changed.

Following Napster’s demise, services like Kazaa and LimeWire rose to prominence. Kazaa, launched by Scandinavian developers in 2001, was notorious for its closed-source software, which meant users often downloaded mislabeled files and viruses. The RIAA continued its fight against piracy by suing Kazaa users directly, a tactic that eventually led to Kazaa’s decline after a $100 million settlement with MGM in 2006.

LimeWire, created by Harvard, Yale, and Stanford alumnus Mark Gorton in 2000, was equally problematic. It was riddled with adware, malware, and spyware, making it a hazard for any computer. Despite these issues, LimeWire remained popular until its shutdown in 2010, following a court ruling that found Gorton and LimeWire guilty of copyright infringement and unfair competition. The music industry initially sought $72 trillion in damages, a figure so absurd that it was eventually settled for $105 million.

The rise and fall of these P2P services highlighted a crucial point: while people often seek free content, they are also willing to pay for it when there is mutual trust and respect. This realisation led to the development of legal streaming services like Spotify, which offers unlimited music for a reasonable monthly fee. This evolution is a testament to the internet’s capability to adapt and provide better solutions while reducing the risks associated with piracy.

In conclusion, the story of Napster, Kazaa, and LimeWire serves as a cautionary tale and a lesson in adaptation. The internet’s ability to transform and evolve has led to more sustainable and user-friendly ways to access content, proving that innovation often arises from chaos.
