I believe that link is <A HREF="http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-4925360.html?tag=cd_mh">http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-4925360.html?tag=cd_mh</A> They're only trying to shut down systems that run like Napster there, with a central server, but if you read my other thread that no one has yet responded to you will see that I am also concerned about these rich *******s screwing with Gnutella. I would hope that if they start giving ISPs people that use Gnutella and demanding that they terminate their service or something the ISPs would tell them to go screw themselves, since eventually the ISPs will find that they have many, many less customers if they start kicking Gnutella users off. Furthermore, Gnutella has many, many possible uses besides transfer of copyrighted music, so hopefully Gnutella doesn't have to go through Napster's crap. If ISPs or whoever were to start using these programs I posted about in my other thread to cut off people's downloads, I'm not sure what to do, I guess start using encryption and let the programs try to figure out what an encrypted file sounds like. And if the RIAA starts using them to cut off peoples' file transfers, they need to have their sorry rear ends sued to the ground, because the last I knew neither the Internet nor the phone networks belonged to the RIAA for them to cut off people's transmissions. In any case, those more knowledgeable than me (like Gnutella developers) should begin planning to get around this bullcrap. I sent an email to the developers of three Gnutella-compatible program Thrusday morning and am yet to receive a single reply. I just hope the record labels don't get their way. Someone has to eventually tell these idiots to go fuc# themselves, times change and those that don't change with them do so at their own cost.
