[Tech] BBC: il file-sharing contro la censura

Secondo uno dei "padri" del P2P, entro pochi anni i sistemi di file-sharing scambieranno più notizie che brani musicali, vanificando di fatto ogni tentativo di censura ufficiale:

This is the view of the man who helped kickstart the concept of peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing, Cambridge University's Professor Ross Anderson.



In his vision, people around the world would post stories via anonymous P2P services like those used to swap songs.



They would cover issues currently ignored by the major news services, said Prof Anderson.



"Currently, only news that's reckoned to be of interest to Americans and Western Europeans will be syndicated because that's where the money is," he told the BBC World Service programme, Go Digital.



"But if something happens in Peru that's of interest to viewers in China and Japan, it won't get anything like the priority for syndication."



"If you can break the grip of the news syndication services and allow the news collector to talk to the radio station or local newspaper then you can have much more efficient communications."
