Ok, this is the last email I am writing on this subject it is not
important enough.
The way it is written now does *not* correct the false assumption.
It strengthens it. By comparing Freenet to these two you are basicly
saying
?We are similar but better? functionally however we are as Oskar
pointed out
much more similar to the WWW. Both Napster and Gnutella are basicly
nothing
more than search engines, we don?t even *have* searching yet for crying
out loud.
The only thing that binds us is the fact that we are all new
technological threats
to copyright enforcement. And I for one don?t think it is necesary to
keep pointing that out
