Hey, if the US wants to live in a black hole, I don't think the rest of the world would mind.

These people don't seem to relise that p2p is GLOBAL, meaning you have to enforce your ban in tin pot little countries like Romania, Sri Lanka and Naru as well as at home in the US of A.

P2P won't die - there are too many people who have tasted freedom and will refuse to go back. People will always figure out how to get around small problems, and the lawmakers take so long to formulate, implement and enforce their policies that it could be years before they get around to shutting down a new network that may become popular.

(Apologies to anyone who lives in Romania, Sri Lanka or Naru).
