Re: The law is on the RIAA's side - don't like it? get law chgd

Personally, I think it is the latter.

And I put someone else on ignore yesterday for such a
narrow minded opinion of p2p.

Take p2p out of the picture and replace that with any other
Internet protocol where files could be transferred between
two or more users (HTTP and FTP just to name two). Just
because it is p2p doesn't automatically mean that everything
being sent back and forth over that protocol is infringing
material. I'll bet there's an equal amount being traded via
other, less used means. And with the same ratio of infringing
content as well.

For a lot of people P2P equals illegal file sharing and nothing else, period. Now don't get me wrong I do think that a significant amount of P2P file sharing is more than likely illegal but no one has done any studies on this. So who can really say how much P2P traffic is illegal file sharing.

Simple, no one can say because no one truly knows.

Someday I hope research is done on this issue and some evidence is presented on illegal and legal P2P file sharing and traffic.
