Making up a disclaimer is kinda pointless since many programs hire lawyers to do that for them anyways.

Moak it depends on what you talk about "protection" if your talking about ideas like encryption and blocking countermeasures which would fuel a fire for a lawsuit against gnutella then yes im against it. If gnutella was as at risk as you think it is then why hasnt it allready been shut down.

Gnutella unlike every other P2P network is truly decentralized and an open network. Unlike other programs you cannot sue one or a few programs to get the network shut down. If the RIAA wants to attack gnutella they will have to go after indivdual users themselves like they go after web pages on the web. The RIAA behaviour does have to be legal because if it isnt then they will fail and become even more hated.

The "threat" of the RIAA, there money and there lawyers were allready well apparent to everyone well before when most of the programs now were released. Almost all the developers out there had to have known about them and were willing to take that risk or else they wouldnt have made their program.

moak the RIAA didnt "crackdown" on kazaa the IFPI did. Thats an different organization thats similar to the riaa but its not the riaa.
