http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=77487&cid=6889677 bringt es auf den Punkt: ----- Their argument says, essentially: "We cannot see what a given individual is doing. They could be doing anything!. Therefore, we MUST monitor and regulate each individual!" The premise of our society (in the US) is exactly the opposite of that view: "...Chief among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness..." The "liberty" part means that Yeah--you could be doing anything. Go ahead. We presume that what you're doing is none of anyone else's business. In that context, the RIAA's argument "Unmonitored, unregulated private citizens are probably criminal, and must be treated as such." sounds absurd. Not to the folks making the laws. ----- Interessant ist in diesem Zusammenhang auch der Versuch, eine ganze Klasse von Software ("P2P Kommunikationsprogramme") mehr oder weniger als illegal erkl�ren zu lassen. Das ergibt gleich ganz neue Anwendungen f�r Palladium-Style Infrastrukturen. :-) Kristian
