Being First To Download for Prestige

Written by Nick on March 19, 2007

Bragging Rights

Aggressive searches for unique files like ringtones, wallpapers, screen savers and other applications for use in portable media like cellular phones and palm tops is one of the common activities that people look for on the web. One has to think, why do people want to look for them? The answer lies in the area of prestige and of course bragging rights since it has been common to see that people who are the first to own such things will always be considered unique.

This practice has been the common thing that people see. People always want to be the first. While creations are rare, especially if people are looking for free ones, people can always search selected sites or communities for the unique files not available in their regions.

Hence it all boils down to how people would religiously dedicate their time in looking for rare files before they become common and rampant for people to have them.

P2P Sharing is Illegal, But Is Anyone Biting?

Written by Nick on March 13, 2007

Based on the standards set by the Recording Industry Association of America, it is without a doubt that peer to peer sharing falls under the copyright violations for all music shared and acquired from other people using file transfer services. Such P2P clients as Kazaa, Limewire and Bearshare offer such a service of sharing files. But while they are the software providers for such access points, liability is concentrated towards the people who actually transfer the files.

Kazaa File Sharing

Considering the millions of people on the web, it is safe to say that a large portion of the world population is susceptible to the lawsuits that RIAA has set. But regardless, people do not heed this concern very much, probably rendering the whole scenario like a useless organization or cause.

However, it would not be surprising that after some times, proper implementation and track down on such file acquisitions will be properly defined. It may be broad at the moment, but don’t let that fool you. The worst is yet to come.

Would You Trust Morpheus?

Written by Nick on February 21, 2007

Among the early birds in the peer to peer sharing of files era would account Morpheus among others. Music, applications, videos, you name it. Just do a random search for anything of your liking and you will find plenty of people and sources to which you can download them.

Morpheus File Sharing

But with every free service comes a risk. One is that of viruses or Trojans invading your workstation. Sure, they will always tell you that the software is virus free, but how about the actual files you get? Especially if they are compressed and zipped, there is no telling what hidden files may be included in the process.

The of course there are the legal implications for violations of copyrights. Sharing of files may be okay, but licensed applications would usually be limited towards the actual purchaser of the product. But once any product or application has been distributed, control and tracing of such distribution may be a widespread recipe of including people who do not know what they are really doing.

Downloading Utilities and Drivers

Written by Nick on February 11, 2007

Among the minor issues that people would have with regards to hardware interface with the operating system installed is that of having the proper drivers in tow for the devices to work properly. While these drivers would usually come with the packages once bought, the possibility of misplacing the actual CD driver or even having the wrong driver would create problems.

Troubleshooting Drivers Installation

People who would format their computer would most likely experience losing the original drivers hence becoming a need for them to search for software drivers on the web from the manufacturer’s website or from free driver sites to aid them. Being aware of the actual model, operating system and related information prior to downloading is a need. Failure to do so may lead a person to going nuts, especially if the driver he gets is not compatible with his current operating system. Worse, he may be using a driver that is not the right one for the hardware device.
