That's very true, but if you told that to the software companies, they'd spit in your face. I don't download software from Gnutella for a few reasons:
-They're big and I only have dial-up, but that's beside the point.
-If people are sharing kiddy porn on Gnutella, it makes me uneasy to think what kind of things people could be putting in those zips and exes.
-"They" whoever they are, could track software easier. (Well, I don't <u>know</u> that, but it would only make sense, right??)
-They're probably all buggy.
Anyway, Mr. '______'s letter is a good chance to bring up some thing. Privacy. Who said RIAA and MPAA could track IPs all over the net? Even if they have permission, it's still not right.

P.S= I'm actually the Yoshi who wrote the original like, 3 months ago, but I've kind of changed my views a bit.
