It's scary.. big corporations have bought the governments and they
decide in utmost secrecy to criminalize p2p.
It's global dictatorship by the intellectual property mafia rather
than democracy in a supposedly open society.
The big corporations own the governments, they fund
the parties.
They make the arms that are used against civilians.
Over 100,000 Iraq civilians dead, massive carbon
footprint, and the G8 fat cats have their noses in
the trough, while large parts of the world live in
poverty and suffer from the AIDS epedemic.
The big corporations are fanatically dedicated to
crushing anything that threatens their profits, and
that includes P2P.
If they can't crush it, then they will just
aquire and run the ISP's themselves.
It doesn't matter which party is in power, they
are all controlled by the multinationals.
I see massive corporations are again stealing something that they didnt
create. No amount of bitching anyone does will stop this.
The internet has evolved from thousands/millions of people doing upgrades to
its core technologies and now that its something that the business world can
use & abuse - they will do just that. Its been all down-hill since
businesses tried to use it anyways. Whats one more hostile takeover of
something that has no recognised body/union to protect it?

The sky is not falling, but as users of P2P, we need to be alert to
things that can interfere with our use of P2P.
My thread ain't dead yet! :-)
