I know P2P is the Bane or Boon, developers, Artist and alot of other folks.
People can argue the Pro's and Con's of the actual P2P phaenomenon, networks and Usages. Given that it is a valid Networking Utility (used for mainly nefarious purposes.) No matter which side of the Issue you come down upon, instances like the one below, could lead to US Legislative Bodies Prematurely and Ill advisedly deciding the Issue for you, Under the Guise of National Security, and hiding it or bringing it's effects by one of the New Ubiquitous Governing Bodies, brought about by this whole 9/11 Issue. The mere idea that this could be effecting, security of our troops, by their inability to properly secure the US Trops Networking infrastructure, and it's result in arming the "Loss of Rights for Security's Crowd", is scary in itself.
