P2P shenanigans

Last week, a federal judge threw out a lawsuit by the RIAA and
MPAA against Grokster and Morpheus. The judge concluded that
though the technologies could be used for copyright
infringement, they are legally neutral because they can also be
used for legal file trading. So nobody is going to break down
your door just for having a P2P client installed on your
computer. However, according to news reports, the major labels
might have other tricks up their sleeves, including Trojan
horses that may shut down your computer, slow down your
Internet connection, or cause other damage. File sharers,
beware.
