Well worth the read.

I hope it sticks around, even if morpheus ever goes down, *company wise, as it would provide useful to go back and take a trip down memory lane.

I do that with napster sometimes, go back and read some of the old sites, and news items.

I only wish some of the companies starting up new services would do the same, and rtealize open source and decentral is the key.

But then others argue the age old question, of wether being by the users for the users, would only push the RIAA goons, on to hunting individuals downloading, rather then companies providing the downloading???

I kinda think its good to have companies take the heat for tus users. The RIAA will never give up. They are like a group of little kids born with tunnel vision, on a sugar rush.

I kinda imagine RIAA inter offcie meetings, go much like the munchkin scenes in wizard of OZ. Where the chant is "sue, sue, sue" in nutty, squeaky voices.

I only wish a stronger goal of protecting users identies on the systems would be a higher prioirty to make it even harder for the RIAA to go after us. But even that is kinda slanted, as the RIAA has there own software that can crawl the diffrent file share nets and locate regions the users are in.

Can't recall the name of the program they use, but I found a link to it's site once. When I come across it I will post the url.

Maybe some one else can beat me to it though.
