Re: only a matter of time said by Jehu:
yep
You got that right.
Unless you are living in a cave, everyone should know by now these P2P services are NOT anonymous. They offer no protection. Therefore, if you trade copyrighted works, you run the risk of being caught.
It is a very simple decision, either share and roll the dice or clean everything out of your shared folder.
*EDIT* The wording has been changed so I am changing my statement on apparent bias.

| I don't see what bias you mean, but-
There are some services that offer more anonminity than others, and there are ways to increase your privacy, if you are smart. Nothing the feds couldn't back track if they wanted to (unless you really went crazy), but enough to keep the RIAA off of your back.

I'm puzzled as to why you're taking offense to the obviously op-ed comment about Sauron when you and the author appear to be on the same side of the argument...
Anyway, P2P as a technology could be very promising. A lot of innovative ideas in computing today came about though the underground and hacker scenes. No, I'm not afraid that the RIAA or the MPAA will single-handedly ruin this great technology. We all know from past experiences that progress is made in even the most inhospitable environments. Unfortunately, P2P networks will be used for illegal activities long after the RIAA and MPAA and all the other players in this alphabet soup lose interest. If there's one other thing we have learned in our brief computing history is that everything has a legitimate and illegitimate use, and both will be employed. |

But even the anonymous services do very little to hide your information. The only way they could provide any chance of anonymity is if everyone connected through a proxy server in which case all the RIAA has to do is shut down that server (serving a subpeona first to get the list of ip addresses who have connected to that server for future lawsuits).

The wording was changed so I no longer have a problem with it. When I posted, it was different. I edited my post.
