This is all very well but do any of you know people that have been convicted of piracy from p2p programs? I havent met nor heard of anyone being arrested for using kazaa. Also, if the law was to state that noone could file share due to piracy then they would have to shut down msn messenger, aol, irc, icq as these programs hav the ability to share files between users.

People have to get used to the idea that the internet is file sharing, whether it be downloading html through your browser or sending e-mail to downloading the latest $500 program from kazaa its all the same.

Some websites have copyrite on their pages... this makes no sence as when you view the page, it is downloaded into your computer and copied from the server.

P2P is just focussing on one aspect of file sharing and because it is right infront of people's noses now doesnt make it any different to what had already been happening when the internet first started.
