> Peer to peer networking is at risk due to private sector business's
perceived
> interest. Lobbyists from the private sector have been highly successful
lately.
> Without a greater force to stop them than there is today, they will
likely
> make inroads against peer to peer networking. Freenet and similar
software may
> even become entirely illegal whether you use it or just have a copy of it
on
> your disk. Short of large corporations embracing peer to peer networking
and
> file sharing, the only thing I see as likely to stop the lobbyists is
> legislation in place to preserve rights. Germany did this recently with
their
> law to ensure preservation of rights for reverse engineering for
accessibility.
