This is completely false. Like someone using Kazaa or Bit Torrent would be able to simply flee to IRC. IRC takes a more "advanced" user than the 99% of people who use BT or Kazaa type clients.

I keep waiting for someone to say "Usenet".
I have Charter Pipeline Internet. They contract their nntp from SuperNews, so we have "premium" feed for free.
Say I've got a copy of NewsReactor installed. I also happen to have the url for Newzbin. I can type in the names of movies or anything there, and be given the newsgroup where some neferious souls have uploaded the parts. New movies are usually available there before they make the move from IRC onto the mainstream P2Ps. And it isn't like new releases are only posted in newsgroups with helpful names, either.
I suppose they could get an order to read logs, but I think they'd have a hard time in general, as ISPs and nntp providers don't actually want to have their custommers jailed, and will only produce things they are specifically ordered to produce, not spread their legs.
Just thought I'd mention this. People going on about p2p and irc, when one the original distibution nets is still going strong. |

My point though is that the authors statement that people will up and flee to IRC in droves is completely false. The same goes for USENET.
