| Re: no honor among theives Unfortunately, this is yet another example of patenting "prior art".
It will be quite easy to overturn the patent, considering people have been using MD5 and other hashing algorithms for years. | |

Years before Sharman Networks ever dreamed up Kazaa MD2, MD4, MD5 hashing algorithms were developed by a company called Rivest back from 1989 to 1991. »www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2253
They steal the idea, change 6 lines of code and then try and patent all encryption ideas for the past 50 years. Just more of the practice of software development by lawyer instead of by programmers. -- My Web Page My Blog Join Red Room Forum | |

Sharman needs to get shut down by its own spy bloated wares. | |

| so these companies change a single a line of code and they are home free, because a patent convers the device and not its use. this would be like UTC-Carrier trying to patent air conditioning by refrigeration. -- [65 Arcanist]Filan(High Elf) Zone: Broadband Reports | |

join:2001-05-01 Elmhurst, NY | Apparently, this was bound to happen. why can't they label all P2P applications as "cannot be patented". Now, I'm all for that (unless I start writing P2P code).

I'v been programming in c# for the last 2 years... hashtables are not a new concept. | |

| Flame them, Vinnie! I think Vinnie Falco, the creator of Bearshare ought to flame Sharman, and do it big-time. Maybe even do it on a website like Zeropaid, telling everyone what a bunch of idiots Sharman is for trying to patent file hashing, something that existed long before they did.
I think it ought to be along the lines of the response letters that piratebay.org sent the MPAA, and just as nasty, telling their lawyers where they can stick certain body parts and so on... -- "Kayura or Badamon, whichever you are, you should know that I will never give up this battle.
