P2P Still Going Strong Despite Industry Claims

Something a bit more upbeat for a change

In a change of pace from the typical headline news which portrays P2P in decline, CacheLogic’s study has a very pro file-sharing angle. According to CacheLogic’s study, the recent enforcement actions against file-sharing have done nothing to stem the rise of P2P networking. Instead, it has only encouraged file-traders to migrate to alternative networks. In addition, CacheLogic discovered that P2P continues to represent the most heavily used Internet medium, as it consumes in excess of 60% of an ISP’s bandwidth.

Whether or not you take CacheLogic’s latest study with a grain of salt, there’s little denying the power it is having over the media.

No doubt a faceless moron will dispute this study but then what can we expect from the same folks who said the video recorder was the end of their industry and then made billions out of selling movies on video cassette.
