It seems not all have been watching the expanding trend.
http://newteevee.com/2007/08/25/asias-p2p-boom/There is a whole world of P2P services with millions of users out there that most of us have never even heard of.
Hundreds of thousands of Japanese Internet users get their media through encrypted and secretive darknets.
China is on the forefront of P2P television. And then there is Korea, where file swapping is widespread even after major P2P providers were forced to shut down.
Korean file sharing has always been driven by commercial enterprises. That’s completely different from the situation in Japan, where P2P has been dominated by non-commercial, encrypted swapping applications.
I have been watching the Japanese P2P scene myself for some time and there are many new darknet programs out there that most of us in the west have never seen nor are we likely to without friends making us aware of them, this is the future for many as commercial entities are not aways willing to implement measures that protect their users privacy, something many in the p2p scene know is half the battle when it comes to building and sustaining a p2p network.
