It would appear "not very clever" to block peer to peer networks and torrents for that matter. Torrents may be used to pirate Intellectual Property but that is not what the protocol was build for. It enables people to move huge files even with limited bandwidth. Because cars kill on the road, do we block all cars from using a road? On 01/05/2012, John Gitau <jgitau@gmail.com> wrote:
Exactly what does everyone have against torrents?
Granted some people misuse them but fighting a protocol for being efficient is just not feasible.

CCK will have to hire very tough hackers to be able to bypass some of the security protocols most of us use. And with the lack of capacity in KE, hiring guys from Eastern Europe for this, will be expensive. Automation in Information Security never works, only for the lazy.
So don't believe everything you hear.

first, torrents evolve. Will CCK evolve as fast? I dont think so. ( THEY WILL END UP STUCK WITH EXPENSIVE/OBSOLTE SOFTWARE/ HARDWARE) Second, torrent clients are not generic, so will CCK be able to pin down all the different types? I dont know. Third, in the west they have decided to take down the largest pirates (read TIM dot Com and Newzealand). But even then, with Napster down, Megaupload gone... i still have thousands of peers seeding from every torrent i download.
Its only a matter of time before someone else come up with something that makes torrents obsolete. rather than blockading the media owners should be thinking disruptive techonology, something that makes torrents irrelevant.
My two cents.
