Talk:MUTE

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From MUTE-Net, Eurleif's edit "(NPOV, remove "built in search and download" (that's part of all filesharing). Disambig Windows.)".

This is incorrect. You can have a file sharing / p2p network without classical search ability (e.g. Freenet). MUTE-Net has search, something that most, if not all, other anonymous p2p networks lack. Leave it in please, thanks. --ShaunMacPherson 04:09, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)

"Unlike the relatively popular Freenet anonymous P2P network, Mute has built in search functionality similar to classical peer-to-peer applications": this comment is highly misleading, as it seem to suggest that Freenet does not have a search function, whereas in fact Freenet and Mute are both searchable, they just use slightly different algorithms. --Tomch, 13 Jan 2006

As far as I know, with Freenet you cannot perform search queries such as "in Freenet, is there a file containing the word 'foo'? If so, show me all matches." This is OK for Freenet, because it isn't a "file sharing" system, but a document publishing system (primarily). Of course, Freenet has "search" as part of its routing protocol, to locate data associated with cryptographic keys, but that's not really comparable to keyword file searches. That said, I think comparing it to Freenet in the first place is strange, seeing the two systems were built for so different purposes. Haakon 10:37, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MUTE linux.png

Image:MUTE linux.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:11, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
