Guess it will be time to add encryption to your torrent before it goes out.

It really is scary how far stupidity can be perpetuated!

I read all the posts, some from angry people, and some
from uninformed people, and a few from people who
are truly passionate about the argument.

I am of the opinion that this may be an expensive round
of brown-nosing, and we the consumer will pay for it.

Will it actually accomplish anything constructive?

I think that when you try to build a better mouse-trap,
be prepared for someone else to engineer a better
mouse.

You heard it here!!!

File sharing parties!!! Kinda like LAN parties.



People meet, socialize, compare libraries, and trade....



A little socializing never hurt anyone. :)

Ahh yes. Good 'ol Sneaker-Net. Another good idea from the 80's (hey there weren't many so we gotta hype up the few :-P).

So I wonder what rap artist they will get to dance for them this time....
