---unlike napster why is gnutella ok?---
| Well, that was Napster's argument also. They were right, but it was shut down. Why is Gnutella still alive? It is open and decentralised. Napster was fully centralised. You had an username and password. You don't need them in Gnutella. There is no central server to be blocked, not even the old Gnutella host caches. With GWebCache anybody can host a list of the users. If Gnutella is ever brought down, it will be long after Fasttrack is. Ivan
