professa X Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) well sort of. they got a patent for it. if this goes through i will become an apple fan! Sure it is a little more restrictive than drm. But this is moving forward in terms of thinking of ways to share files. Hopefully they come out with a less restrictive method and hopefully other content distributors try to make ways for this. http://torrentfreak.com/apple-wants-legalize-license-p2p-sharing-150123/ Edited January 25, 2015 by professa X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFlower Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 How is this a step forward? It has DRM, which is several steps backwards in any sane person's book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroPenguins Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 AFAIK didn't Bittorrent already have a legal way of sharing copyrighted media with P2P anyways? Who the heck would even want to use Apple's DRM version of it. Besides P2P protocol is 100% legal to begin with already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides P2P protocol is 100% legal to begin with already. really. i didnt know that bittorent did that. can you point me towards the source. How is this a step forward? It has DRM, which is several steps backwards in any sane person's book. yes. like i said sure its still drm. but when a big company like apple steps in that direction of trying to find a away for people to share their content w/o being punished i think its good.

StaticX Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I don't see the point of P2P sharing on Apple Devices, I know they have file manager apps when you Jailbreak them, but you still need a specialized browser app of sorts to search through iDevices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFlower Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 AFAIK didn't Bittorrent already have a legal way of sharing copyrighted media with P2P anyways?I believe they wanted to have some sort of legal distribution for music. I don't remember the details nor can I find anything about it. It would probably be on torrentfreak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
