Microsoft Patents P2P DRM Methods
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft has patented a method to employ P2P
| networks to distribute commercial media.
| The system has the advantages of 1) shifting
| distribution costs to users, 2) encrypting
| digital content and 3) allowing efficient
| asynchronous playback (known as âfast-
| forwardâ and âreverseâ to the VHS
| generation).
|
| The system works like a standard torrent
| network: content is split into thousands of
| little packets and stored on the computers of
| each peer. When a user wants the content,
| his machine grabs a list of the nearest peers
| and what parts of the content they have. The
| user downloads the individual pieces and the
| file is reassembled on his computer.

Microsoft ruins everything is touched... and then spreads software patents, which are illegal.
