Re: MPAA files new film-swapping suits

As much as I'd like to be upset, they are driving innovation of p2p software. -- War is the father and king of all, and some he shows as gods, others as men; some he makes slaves, others free. --Heraclitus (Kahn.83/D-K.53)
Re: MPAA files new film-swapping suits
That's an interesting point. They seem to be attacking at precisely the correct rate to forcibly evolve P2P systems to be completely invulnerable to such efforts. Hum. Perhaps Tim May works for MPAA? Nah... he wasn't THAT bright, was he? -TD From: Justin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: MPAA files new film-swapping suits Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 21:59:15 + http://news.com.com/2102-1030_3-5551903.html?tag=st.util.print Hollywood studios filed a second round of lawsuits against online movie-swappers on Wednesday, stepping up legal pressure on the file-trading community.

The P2P assm^H^H^H^H architects are reissuing new systems with holes patched reactively. There's no reason for a P2P system designed in 1996 to be water-tight to any threat model of 2010. (Strangely enough, they had IP nazis and lawyers back then, too). Hum. Perhaps Tim May works for MPAA? Nah... he wasn't THAT bright, was he? I think he was primarily one thing: frustrated.
