Monolith. ⇒
27 March 2006, early afternoon
Given a copyrighted work, and a public domain work, Monolith will produce a file that contains essentially no information from either file. Presumable, one can distribute the new file on the net, and anyone else can use this file, plus the public domain file, to reconstruct the original copyrighted work.
This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.
From a technical standpoint isn’t all electronic data meaningless without the corresponding reader / operating system to read it?
And doesn’t file compression do the same thing? If you didn’t have the compressor, wouldn’t the information be unrecognizable as well?
A zip isn’t any less a copy of a file really then the original.
Am I wrong? Can you find evidence of the original file inside a zip file w/o the zip program?

I wanna know what “essentially” is used to mean here.
sounds like they basically XOR 2 streams together…I didn’t read the source though.

The people at Metafilter are digging into the application: they aren’t all too impressed.
