quotation (skip)

«When Napster told the district court that it had developed a technology to block the transfer of 99.4 percent of identified infringing material, the district court told counsel for Napster 99.4 percent was not good enough. Napster had to push the infringements "down to zero."
If 99.4 percent is not good enough, then this is a war on file-sharing technologies, not a war on copyright infringement. There is no way to assure that a p2p system is used 100 percent of the time in compliance with the law, any more than there is a way to assure that 100 percent of VCRs or 100 percent of Xerox machines or 100 percent of handguns are used in compliance with the law. Zero tolerance means zero p2p. The court’s ruling means that we as a society must lose the benefits of p2p, even for the totally legal and beneficial uses they serve, simply to assure that there are zero copyright infringements caused by p2p.»

files (skip)

These are the my old softwares, previously hosted on sourceforge. These project are to be considered closed. I leave them here just in case someone really need them for whatever reason.

Remember: due to an idiot policy of this hosting service links to these files will not work unless they're placed in a page of the same hosting service, like this one. This means that you'll be able to download them only from here. (Not my fault.)
