hello and welcome here

This week's most exciting news in technology was undoubtedly that Tesla Cars declares that all their patent monopolies are free for anyone to use. What does it mean? Let's compare to BitTorrent. When Bram Cohen created the BitTorrent protocol, he had the legal option of filing for a patent monopoly on any computer program that used this protocol. (The mere existence of such an option is a very bad thing, but we’ll be returning to that.) Mr. Cohen chose to not monopolize the BitTorrent protocol in that way. Let’s examine what implications that would have had for the technology. If the BitTorrent technology would have been protected by patent monopolies, it would have been effectively limited to Mr. Cohen’s original BitTorrent client. Have you used that client? Do you know anybody who has used it? Didn’t think so, and neither do I. Instead, there is an enormous plethora of clients and servers that use the protocol today, and Mr. Cohen’s BitTorrent Inc. is valued at eight-digit dollars. Not to mention the fact that BitTorrent Inc. was subsequently able to buy one of the most prolific BitTorrent clients out there, µTorrent, which would not have existed had the technology been monopolized in the first place. I think most of us have used µTorrent – I know I have. This shows exactly why it makes so much sense for Tesla Cars to release all of their patent monopolies into the wild, and why the patent monopoly system as such is enormously harmful (the only industry to make a net profit from it is the pharma industry, and that’s because they’re heavily subsidized with taxpayer money). Tesla Cars relinquishing their monopolies means they see this mechanism, and that they realize they need an ecosystem to flourish around their technology – the electric car technology – in order to remain viable themselves. Put another way, it’s not about the size of the pie slice: monopolies are preventing the pie itself from growing exponentially, as they do with any new technology poised to disrupt the old ways. Just like BitTorrent. Patent monopolies are far worse than the copyright monopolies we deal with (and all break) on a daily basis. Imagine for a moment if copyright monopoly vultures didn’t care if you had made an actual copy, that you would be just as guilty of infringement even if you had never seen or heard of the original? That’s how patent monopolies work, and that’s the key difference between patent monopolies and copyright monopolies: the latter protect a specific expression against copying, the former protect an idea or a form from being utilized anywhere, even independently. It’s also why patent monopolies are much, much more harmful than copyright monopolies (and that’s saying a lot). But as the Tesla example shows, patent monopolies don’t stop at not making sense as a whole. They also don’t make sense to a single company in isolation, as they prevent an ecosystem taking shape. It’s one of the worst cancers in the economy, as investors describe them today. It’s easy to argue that patent monopolies don’t hit ordinary families in the same way that copyright monopolies, that patent monopolies have not sued families out of their homes merely for taking part in society’s culture. But that’s about to change with 3D printing, where rapid fabrication becomes available to the masses. It is – unfortunately – a safe prediction that people will soon be sued out of their homes merely for manufacturing their own pair of slippers, because it violated a design patent monopoly somewhere. Such a notion may seem ridiculous today. Then again, so did everything else we’ve seen with the copyright monopoly so far, and patent monopolies are guarded far more harshly. The BitTorrent legacy doesn’t just show us how to break the copyright monopoly in a specific case. It gives us a blueprint for how to disrupt old ways in general by ditching legal monopolies, a blueprint that Tesla Cars is now choosing to follow. The patent monopoly wars are coming, right on the heels of the copyright monopoly wars, as were they merely a logical extension. That’s why it’s so encouraging to see our tip-of-the-spear entrepreneurs denouncing and releasing their own monopolies right ahead of these battles with corporate lawyers. As a final note, it’s noteworthy that Tesla Cars isn’t the only company that Elon Musk is running. He’s also at the helm of SpaceX. Space technology has been ridiculously proprietary up until now, nothing cooperating with anything else and everything being custom-built single-use. That’s why it makes me enormously excited to see an entrepreneur who understands the damages of monopolies at the forefront of space technology today. It holds a promise of standardized, interoperable space technology. As in, “for all of us”. Like BitTorrent.

In May 2013, we introduced an Alpha experiment in digital publishing. As of today, we’ve delivered more than one hundred million Bundles to fans. The past year in content has been headlined by hashtags. #NewRules. #NoRules. The stealth social album drop. The no-strategy-strategy. This is the promise of the Internet: unprecedented fan connection, free creative license. Except that a close read finds that the open window on artistic expression is closing. Of the 7,500 films made in 2014, only 100 will ever be seen. Netflix took down 1,800 titles in 2013, and another 470 in January. Things look pretty dire, even if you’re in a position to have your content played. They’re worse if you’re looking to get paid. Youtube, the world’s largest streaming platform, offers artists $1,750 in exchange for a million streams. When you get down to it, these are the #NewRules. They’re not sustainable. What if media can become more valuable each time it’s shared? Last year, we kicked off an Alpha experiment in digital publishing called BitTorrent Bundle. It’s a platform and file format that’s designed to work the way the Internet does: content becomes more valuable, each time it’s shared. Since May 2013, we’ve worked with some of the world’s most amazing artists. Moby. Madonna. Cut/Copy. De La Soul. Diplo. Death Grips. Werner Herzog. Hundred Waters. Lee Scratch Perry. Lucy Walker. Joshua Oppenheimer. Gabe Polsky. Public Enemy. Amanda Palmer. We’ve made mixtapes. We’ve mixed new EPs. We’ve mapped live shows. We’ve 3D printed film. We’ve gotten past censors. We’ve beaten some of our own odds. And along the way, our Alpha experiment has grown, and grown up. BundleHero-940px-1 BitTorrent Bundle by the numbers. Today, 24 hours in BitTorrent Bundle equals over 554K impressions, 167K downloads, and more than 16K streams. Monthly Bundle site visitors have increased from 2.1 million, to 25 million (+1,095%). 25% of visitors share the content with their network across some social channel. And fans are coming back, over and over again. 75% of Bundles site traffic is coming from returning users. Over the course of the past year, we’ve added a publisher stats portal — one that’s owned by artists, not advertisers. We’ve added search and tagging to help fan discovery. And we’ve also updated Bundle to make it more flexible for artists. You can now embed Bundles on any website or blog. You can also just click play. More than 10% of all Bundles are now streamed. What 100 million downloads looks like, and other true stories from behind BitTorrent Bundle: BundleHero-940px-2b On G-Eazy, and the one-hundred millionth download. On June 5th, Oakland-based rapper G-Eazy gave back to fans by making his entire back catalog — three albums, remixes, b-sides, a curated photo and poster set — available for download. One place. One digital box set. One million plays. And after six days, the one-hundred-millionth BitTorrent Bundle download. #TheseThingsHappen. An entire music festival, inside a single file. The Mad Decent Block Party started out in Philadelphia as a street thing; a day for friends to hang out and see shows. Today, the block party travels to cities across the US. It stands as one of the last few festival days where live music belongs to everyone. The feeling of being there: it’s hard to explain over a single music stream. Add fifteen tracks. Add five videos. Add an interactive art gallery. This is the people’s music fest, Bundled up, and distributed to the people of the Internet. More than a million people tuned in. A record store scavenger hunt, hidden in a Bundle. De La Soul defined hip hop, and cut-n-paste culture, for a generation. They wrote the oral history of the digital age before the digital age. And as such, their work has been a challenge to distribute. Part of the Library of Congress, but not part of iTunes. Classic De La Soul sounds like nothing else. It was possible that we’d never hear it again, online. An attempt to release their entire back catalog as a Dropbox download ended in a traffic takedown. We worked with De La Soul to reset these limits; releasing their March mixtape celebrating the legacy of J Dilla, Smell the Da.I.S.Y., as a BitTorrent Bundle. It’s still being downloaded — without a single outage. For a new generation of listeners, the work of De La Soul and J Dilla is always on, and always online, and always preserved. And its second life is more than digital. As a thank you to BitTorrent fans, Bundle De La Soul released the Smell the Da.I.S.Y. instrumentals as a limited edition vinyl, hidden in record stores around the world. Da.I.S.Y. downloaders got the first clues. And 48 hours of crate digging later, all records were discovered. BundleHero-940px-3 An Oscar-nominated film finds 4.5 million new supporters. In 2014, we partnered with Drafthouse Films to preserve a nation’s history: the artifacts and interviews behind the Oscar-nominated documentary, The Act of Killing. Our goal was to make a global audience aware of Indonesia’s hidden history of genocide. More than 4.5 million viewers around the world downloaded the film. And our goal was to get The Act of Killing back in to Indonesia. The film Bundle beat censors; receiving 45 thousand views in Indonesia, where it’s currently banned. A snowboarding doc sparks an activist movement. In 2014, all eyes were on the Olympics. But there’s a part of the event that we don’t usually see: its human cost; the strain sports marketing puts on athletes. Lucy Walker’s extraordinary documentary, The Crash Reel, tells the true story of pro snowboarder Kevin Pearce’s post-injury life. In partnership with the filmmakers, we used BitTorrent Bundle to launch a campaign for helmet safety. 3.4 million people tuned in, generating 56K new helmet safety subscribers and supporters. The infinite Internet lives of Lee “Scratch” Perry. Filmmakers Ethan Higbee and Adam Bhala Lough spent seven years documenting the strange world of Lee Scratch Perry; and another three self-distributing The Upsetter to over 80 theaters across the globe. And another three years later, they created a post-theatrical life for the doc: commissioning new tracks, and distributing it to music fans inside BitTorrent. The Bundle was downloaded and streamed over 500K times, leading to 14 news stories in top music blogs. It goes without saying, almost, that L$P lives forever. BundleHero-940px-4 An album you can projection map. Beats Antique is an Oakland-based collective known for their gypsy / glitch / electro / (insert mad adjectives here) sound. And also: their live shows. In partnership with the group, we created a BitTorrent Bundle containing their album, A Thousand Faces: Act 2 — and everything you’d need to stage your own Beats Antique show at home, including the band’s projection mapping kit. 548 thousand downloads. And the potential for 548 thousand live shows to pop up in your neighborhood, and around the world. And BTW, the most downloaded 3D print file on the Internet is a music video. You can 3D print a home. A heart. An Aston Martin DB4. The physical world around us can be reduced to a set of files; endlessly replicable. What about the intangibles, then? Can a song be something that’s felt — heard, seen, and touched? That’s the question at the heart of Cut/Copy’s music video for “We Are Explorers”; the world’s first 3D printed film. The answer is yes. With 2,639,611 downloads, the 3D print Bundle for “We Are Explorers” is the most downloaded 3D print file set on the Internet. So much for a song being only something you hear. And on to the next one and one hundred million downloads. We’re idealists here. But we believe in technology as a form of connection; not control. That analog business models shouldn’t be a barrier to culture kept in common. That bandwidth should never be a barrier to creativity. In the days after Net Neutrality, those sound like radical statements. The fact of the matter is that they’re not. Decentralized technologies like BitTorrent can unblock the connection between artists and fans; stripping away the need to censor or sizecap creativity. Today we stand with over ten thousand publishers who together have proved this, a hundred million times over.

In order to donate more consumer users the option, to be decided the original "feedback upload traffic way" to "repay the value of a corresponding number of magic the way." Note: 1 Amount Mana Mana feedback will follow the flow conversion price adjustment upload changes (ie: If you upload traffic exchange price adjustments occur, then donated back Mana will sync adjustment). 2 If you are a non-member of the yellow star in the assessment of the flow can not be converted, but once you donate is successful, you can instantly relieve assessment, the assessment in the non-state you can use Mana exchange needed to upload traffic. 3 After the new policy, the share rate limit for members of Mana donation amount will be converted to upload canceled. For example: 1) donated 200 yuan, or $ 40: Canadian 12-month membership donated flag (yellow star), double Mana yellow star status during the growing and free assessment, presented 800G upload traffic. 2) donated 400 yuan, or $ 80: Canadian 12-month membership donated flag (yellow star), Mana double yellow star status during the growing and free assessment, presented 2000G upload traffic. Change to 1) donated 200 yuan, or $ 40: Canadian 12-month membership donated flag (yellow star), Mana double yellow star status during the growing and free assessment, giving 332,000 points Mana. 2) donated 400 yuan, or $ 80: Canadian 12-month membership donated flag (yellow star), double Mana yellow star status during the growing and free assessment, giving 830,000 points Mana. Or more, the majority of members to vote on your valuable vote, the results of comparison of votes will determine whether the new policy is implemented, thank you!

We will be running a World Cup 2014 Contest. Yes we are starting a bit late but better late than never. The rules are pretty basic . . . you can put in your prediction anytime between now and kickoff. The person running the contest will take a screen shot of the thread just before kick-off to make sure there are no hijinks. Then the awards will awarded. Here are the categories and prizes for each game: 5 GB of upload for correctly guessing the final score 5 GB of upload for correctly guessing the player to score the first goal 10 GB of upload for correctly guessing the player to get the first yellow/red card 20 GB of upload for correctly guessing the minute in which the first goal is scored 20 GB of upload for correctly guessing the minute in which the first yellow/red card is issued It is ok if you make the same guess as someone else. The award will go to everyone who makes the correct guess. Each game will have an individual thread in the following temporary forum: World Cup 2014 Competition Here is an example from an already completed game. Each guess should look something like this: England 2 - 1 Italy First Goal by Rooney in the 35th minute First Yellow card to Balotelli in the 50th minute As of now GaryE will be running the contest but since he will be going out of town during the middle of the World Cup the contest will likely take a pause when he is gone. If you are interested in helping with the running of the contest please pm GaryE (you do not need to be a staffer to help out! You just will not be able to award the awards but tracking them and taking the screen shots of the threads is good enough and GaryE will award the winners when he is able and or he gets back). Good luck everyone and have fun!
