RESUMO A reprodução não autorizada de conteúdos digitais protegidos constitui um dos maiores problemas da atualidade, fazendo do direito autoral no meio digital um terreno de amplos conflitos. A repressão ao compartilhamento digital tem falhado enquanto solução ao problema. No texto, expomos uma proposta de legalização e apresentamos sua viabilidade econômica diante dos interesses dos detentores de direitos autorais.Palavras-chave: P2P; Compartilhamento; Legalização; Direitos Autorais; Internet.ABSTRACT The unauthorized reproduction of Protected Digital Content is one of the most important problems of the present. It raises great conflicts about copyright in the digital environment.The repression linked to digital sharing has failed to solve the problem. In this text, we present a proposal to legalize digital sharing and present the economic feasibility in facing the interests of copyright owners.Keywords: P2P; Digital Sharing; Legalization; Copyrights; Internet.

The Impact

Abstract The first file-sharing software, Napster, was shut down in 2001, but the copying technology’s impact on the music industry is still passionately debated. This paper uses micro-level data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey to examine the impact of Internet file sharing on music sales. Music industry representatives argue that the practice decreases CD sales, while supporters of file-sharing allege the practice could actually increase sales. Using household-level data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey, we find support for the claim that file-sharing has decreased sales.

What are the implications for the analyses of popular music genres in the previous chapters for what has taken place since the 1980s? With drastic transformations in modes of music circulation and distribution, including the internet and digital file sharing, some would argue that the whole concept of genre needs to be re-thought. Against such millenarian claims, this chapter argues that the processes of emergence, stabilization, and transformation that have been examined in this book will still be central to any study of genre, even if the conditions (including such factors as the types of sources, rates of circulation, etc.) of such studies might be very different. Discussion of the theory of assemblage illustrates how previous concerns of the book might apply to current discussions about genre.

Testing Paradigm

To reproduce colors in one system which differs from another system in terms of the color gamut, it is necessary to use a color gamut mapping process. This color gamut mapping is a method to translate a specific color from a medium (screen, digital camera, scanner, digital file, etc) into another system having a difference in gamut volume. There are different rendering intent options defined by the International Color Consortium [5] to use the different reproduction goals of the user [19]. Any rendering intent used to reproduce colors, includes profile engine decisions to do it, i.e. looking for color accuracy, vivid colors or pleasing reproduction of images. Using the same decisions on different profile engines, the final visual output can look different (more than one Just Noticeable Difference[16]) depending on the profile engine used and the color algorithms that they implement. Profile performance substantially depends on the profiler engine used to create them. Different profilers provide the user with varying levels of liberty to design a profile for their color management needs and preference. The motivation of this study is to rank the performance of various market leading profiler engines on the basis of different metrics designed specifically to report the performance of particular aspects of these profiles. The study helped us take valuable decisions regarding profile performance without any visual assessment to decide on the best profiler engine.

Outgoing Channel

Network coding is a data transmission technique which allows intermediate nodes in a network to re-code data in transit. In contrast to traditional network communication where a node repeats incoming data to its outgoing channel without modifying the payload, a node implementing network coding not only repeats but also alters data. Network coding has been demonstrated to increase network throughput compared to the traditional forwarding transmission. It has potentially broad applications in many areas, including traditional computer networks, wireless ad-hoc networks, and peer to peer systems. This paper process a new technique for file sharing in P2P.

Copyright Laws

The general public is used to thinking of copyright (if it thinks of it at all) as marginal and arcane. But copyright is central to our society’s information policy and affects what we can read, view, hear, use, or learn. In 1998 Congress enacted new laws greatly expanding copy owners’ control over individuals’ private uses of their works. The efforts to enforce these new rights laws have resulted in highly publicized legal battles between established media, including major record labels and motion picture studios, and upstart internet companies such as MP3.com and Napster.In this book, I question whether copyright laws crafted by lawyers and their lobbyists really make sense for the vast majority of us. Should every interaction between ordinary consumers and copyright-protected works be restricted by law? Is it practical to enforce such laws, or expect consumers to obey them? What are the effects of such laws on the exchange of information in a free society? My critique exposes the 1998 copyright law as an incoherent patchwork. I argues for reforms that reflect the way people actually behave in their daily digital interactions.The Maize Books edition includes both an afterword written in 2006 exploring the rise of peer-to-peer file sharing and a new Postscript reflecting on the consequences of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act as it nears its twentieth birthday.
