More reasons to make Gnutella more anonymous:

"A few years ago I was in the UMD dorms and after numerous violations of the network AUP I finally got a call one morning before going to class. It was Mr.
So-and-so with the Nethics department. He told me there were some violations and asked if I knew what he was talking about. (Of course I did, what? was
I just gonna confess? Idiot.) He then suggested that I come over to the computer and space sciences building for a 'chat.' Meanwhile at the CSC building I
entered the Nethics office and was greeted by Mr. So-and-so, and he began his Gestapo interview of me. It came down to the fact that I had egregiously
broke their rules, and I knew it, and he knew it, but he had no real proof (I firewalled almost everything, including all of the UMD space) with the exception of
an email written by a barely literate teenager Narc'ing on me. Needless to say, I walked out unscathed. They are just a bunch of James Bond wanna-be
jokers."
So when this guy gets kicked out of school and his parents lose all their $$ they invested, who CAUSED the damage?

"The Australian Electronic Frontiers foundation report that the Australian
Government is looking at introducing changes to the Telecomunications Interception Act giving
Government Agencies (NOT just police!) the power to intercept email, voice mail and SMS messages
without a warrant."
And it's not just a USA problem.

Developers need to get with it.

And who is the immature nerd who thinks deleting this thread will help anyone ?
