It wouldn't suprise me if the RIAA uses this as an excuse to get rid of p2p. They've already used p2ps abilty to share files on your hard drive against p2p.
notice that the "bad code" allows a remote user to delete shared files.
from the article posting: "There exists malicious code... could delete any file the user is sharing... C:\BOOT.INI file which is a required boot file used by ntldr. "
sounds like something the RIAA would pull, remember when they convinced orrin hatch that hacking computers to delete copyrighted files should be legal?

why would anyone even think of sharing a sys folder/file ? -- think about it....the democratic party wants to be your MOTHER.....the republicans want to be your FATHER

Then why the patch release? I have doubts the RIAA has anything to do with this other than trying to capitalize on the news to suit their own ends. -- Love Science Fiction? www.spacestationzoom.com
