| Use some damned sense. You think some Russian website that hosts movies that have just been released yesterday is on the up and up?
For every person that is using P2P for "legit" uses, like the aforementioned terabyte of Linux ISOs, there are 1000 more that use it for warez/pr0n. And even the pr0n is a second to the sheer amount of warez out there.
People here need to quit deluding themselves. P2P's main function is the dissemination of pirate media, be it software, music, or movies. To say otherwise is just plain stupid.
That being said, there are plenty of legit uses of P2P. Ignoring the dubious business model that relies on getting software out to others not through their own OC12 but through everyone else's pipes, saving said company MILLIONS in bandwidth charges, there has to be a better way to send this data. Perhaps a client that only moves legit content, with headers marked as so. |

"Gee I wonder if this apple.com is legit? I'm not sure about amazon.com. It might be a ripoff. Freemovies.ru yeah that looks legit." |

I say F the children, metaphorically of course. 
I'm sick of that argument too. I don't have children. I am restricted from buying a perfectly legal beverage around my town because some kids MIGHT try to buy beer. You know what, if they are buying it, maybe perhaps someone should have thought twice than selling to obvious children. And once again, going back to the argument about P2P, the one teen attempting to buy beer is just a drop in the bucket compared to over 21 friends/thievery/swiping from parents. A beer store doesn't open up and all of a sudden every teen in the area is lined up attempting to buy beer.
Have some damn common sense.
If kids are accessing sites that you have no knowledge about, then you failed as a parent, and deserve whatever you get. You don't leave your wireless open, therefore don't leave your network wide open if you don't want people to access stuff.
God gave us filters, learn to use them. If I can block it in a corporate environment, anyone can certainly do it in a home. |
