The RIAA may decide to "order" ISPs to block the most popular Gnutella port, 6346. The RIAA, without legal permission, can not do this. If your ISP submitted to RIAA, I'd trash it and get another one. If this blocking is widespread, we may have move to another port, preferably one that is in use by another program, so blocking it would PO the users of the program, without too much non-Gnutella traffic. A good one would be the one that Aim uses, I think 2938, I'm not sure.
