    I was wondering if this wasn't an attempt to demonise file sharers in the name of National Security?

    My God......I didn't see that one coming....

    I could buy that of company's important information (just if they have the most dumb admin) but national security?....

    RIAA didn't have the nervs to say that just 'cause will be the joke of the week, anyway, thank god that someone it took their place on that joke


    Cheers, I'll have to desinstall the p2p programs before the departament of defense come looking by the company's coffee hour records I download, could be a security risk



    Regards

    Well, I worked for a number of years in the UK Defence Industry, and there were a number of golden rules:

    1. Sensitive and secret data was maintained on the secure network, that had no internet connectivity.

    2. On the general network, only personnel whose jobs required it were allowed internet access.

    3. All traffic was closely monitored.

    4. Staff could not load private software such as P2P.

    I do not wish to seem alarmist, but this looks very much like the RIAA/MPAA lobby trying to sneak something in through the back door?
