After reading the article, I think it's funny that the politico's suggest that there's no liability for McDonalds making people fat or Smith and Wesson for killing people, but these P2P programmers couldn't possibly being trying to provide an avenue for me to share my bootlegs (read legal and legal to share bootlegs check livedead or furthernet to see some of the files I have personally mirrored). Intellectual Property laws are probably more dangerous to this country than the Christian right (can you say conversion is another word for brainwash): If we all had to kick in 50 cent to Pythagorus everytime his algorithm was computed very few of us could turn on a computer and probably no cars newer than 82..... Frankly there's an all out war on free flow of information, take science journals and the inability of scientists to read them outside of library even though the vast majority of the research published in those journals was state funded..... If I thought they didn't understand the consquences of their actions I would call them moron's but with intention it becomes evil.
