I wasn't aware of any cases where they hadn't had victory.... As for the INDUCE act (from what I've read) it applies to the creation of products used for illegal activities. It would make it against the law to create a product that's primary use is also against the law. In other words, it would outlaw <i>your</i> willful blindness about what freenet is really used for. It wouldn't just criminalize freenet, but it would criminalize you even making it. I'm very much against this law by the way.

Otherwise the recent P2P cases where the RIAA has not achieved victory would not have happened.
