I love to file swap, but with so much legal drama in the P2P community, I've decided to do my file swapping anonymously. To help me do this, I built an 800GB mobile file-swapping machine. For the complete lowdown on the device, watch today's show.
I live in San Francisco, one of the most connected cities in the world. There are literally thousands of open wireless base stations around the San Francisco Bay area. I simply drive my car, park, and swap my music with friends and family (my extended KaZaA family, of course). Swapping from the street via Wi-Fi ensures my anonymity from any prying eyes.
