What about an indie musician using p2p to distribute his/her music..
or an indie film company.
Good job buying into the fact that there is *no* legitamite use for p2p apps |

No it won't! You still have all ports from 1024 - 65535 to deal with, which are required for outbound connection from your PC to other hosts on the internet. One effective way to slow down file sharing is to use a proxy server and REQUIRE your users to use it. With a proxy server, the ISP can also do some content filtering. -- Where am I? |

All this crap brings a lyric to mind....
said by RUSH 2112:
We've taken care of everything The words you hear the songs you sing The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes It's one for all and all for one We work together common sons Never need to wonder how or why
We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx Our great computers fill the hallowed halls We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx All the gifts of life are held within our walls
Look around this world we made Equality our stock in trade Come and join the Brotherhood of Man Oh what a nice contented world Let the banners be unfurled Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand

| reply to SRFireside Yea buddy, Rush rocks...just saw them a few weeks ago on the latest tour. Amazing...
Anyway, the whole premise of 2112 I think applies very well to the whole attitude of the media companies. Pretty much we will control what you see, what you hear...and if it isn't one of our ideas, it doesn't fall into "the plan"...and therefore unnecessary.
"We have assumed control...we have assumed control..."
