It might even be grammatically correct, but it's very unusual.

Like ones that will give it up if they just ask, or ones that will wait for an actual subpoena, or ones that will actually fight and protect the rights of their customers.

Plus encrypted exchanges.

Which in the end will be counter-productive for the music/movie industries but, unfortunatly, the far more important fight against pedophily networks, drugs and other dangerous organization using the Net.

All to protect an anchronic physical-media business model that worked only because duplication had a cost, which made every item far rarer than its digital immaterial version.

Mission accomplished, guys. Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:31:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (phoudoin) Comments RE[2]: Id like to know... http://osnews.com/thread?321931 http://osnews.com/thread?321931

A lot of those guys dealing with that kind of stuff are pretty dumb and don't know about anonymity. They use IRC, AOL chat rooms, and usenet. Now, thanks to the RIAA and MPAA, technology like tor, bittorrent, and others are going to become mainstream and these creapy pedophiles are going to start using it.

Bunch of crooks out there doing all sorts of bad stuff that need to be behind bars or better.

You're quite right anyway. Though I suspect the effort required to secure oneself would put off the casual user. Tor gets a lot of coverage but never feels like it's about to "take off" and become mainstream. Tue, 08 Jul 2008 22:40:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Michael) Comments
