Growth, litigation and innovation of peer-to-peer file-sharing networks
Wide-spread usage of peer-to-peer file-sharing began in the late 1990's with Napster-a network that allowed users to share digital music without going through legal channels to purchase the copyrighted material. Since Napster debuted, over forty file-sharing applications that allow users to trade …

Culture and capital decoupled : exploring the dynamics of peer-to-peer file sharing and copyright violation
… (in particular, its most contemporary form, peer-to-peer file sharing). The aim of this discussion is to explore and promote a better understand of casual copyright violation, beyond the narrower conceptions challenged herein. The positions of progressive intellectual property advocates and …

Is there a future? : an analysis of the music industry through its history and its strategy for survival in the age of peer to peer & file sharing technologies
… revenue origin from sales of physical products to digital ones is not happening at a rate anywhere near what would be needed for one format to subsidize the other, the major players are merging at the same rate that their sales decrease and the old adage that claims "in business, one plus one …

Trust Management for P2P application in Delay Tolerant Mobile Ad-hoc Networks. An Investigation into the development of a Trust Management Framework for Peer to Peer File Sharing Applications in Delay Tolerant Disconnected Mobile Ad-hoc Networks.
Security is essential to communication between entities in the internet. Delay tolerant and disconnected Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) are a class of networks characterized by high end-to-end path latency and frequent end-to-end disconnections and are often termed as challenged networks. In these …

Decentralized infrastructure for file storage
How might we incentivize a peer-to-peer network to store users' files? The purpose of this research is to combine ideas from existing peer-to-peer file sharing systems, blockchain technology and Proofs-of-Storage to create an incentivized decentralized storage network, where every participant can …

Exploiting System Diversity in Peer-to-Peer Publish -Subscribe Systems
… and simulation. Our deployments used up to 400 PlanetLab servers world-wide. Our largest simulations model 10, 000 nodes. Our experimental methodology is constructed using an extensive amount of real-world traces. For instance, to evaluate Rappel using realistic user subscriptions, we …

PCoord : a decentralized network coordinate system for Internet distance prediction
… services include overlay multicast, structured peer-to- peer lookup services, and peer-to-peer file sharing. Many of these services could benefit from enabling participating end hosts to estimate their relative network locations within the overlay. In this thesis, we present PCoord, a …

Arpeggio : metadata indexing in a structured peer-to-peer network
Peer-to-peer networks require an efficient means for performing searches for files by metadata keywords. Unfortunately, current methods usually sacrifice either scalability or recall. Arpeggio is a peer-to-peer file-sharing network that uses the Chord lookup primitive as a basis for constructing a …

Efficient packet delivery in modern communication networks
… and video. Packet-switching is often adapted in today's networks to transmit multiple types of traffic. In packet-switching networks, network performance is directly affected by how the networks handle their packets. This work addresses the packet-handling issues from the following two aspects: …

Energy aware and privacy preserving protocols for ad hoc networks with applications to disaster management
… (e.g. recovery and relief) scenarios to reduce the impact of disasters. Wireless sensors have been extensively used for early detection and prevention of disasters. However, the sensor's operating environment may not always be congenial to these applications. Attackers can observe the …

Automated Multiparty Authorization in Open Distributed Systems
… the Internet, open distributed computing such as peer-to-peer file sharing and grid computing has become increasingly popular. As these systems exhibit an increasing level of online interactions and cooperations among individuals and organizations, there is also an increasing need for dynamic and …

Exploiting System Diversity in Peer-to-Peer Publish-Subscribe Systems
… system diversity within a particular class of peer-to-peer publish-subscribe systems. We show that by directly addressing interest and network diversity as a first class design principle, the scale and performance of such systems can be improved. This thesis makes four major contributions. …
