U.S. Senate wants to ban P2P
This seems so much like Prohibition that it isn't even funny. P2P
networks are a tool. A tool that, granted, is being used for some
not good things. Trying to ban something like this just won't
work. Groove is a P2P network. One could shuttle all kinds
of information, completely encrypted, to a group of people. Even
the U.S. Government uses Groove, extensively.
Bottom line, it's election year sensationalism. I hope it dies a quick death on the Senate floor.
