Peer to Porn

Two stories on the same subject: the efforts of the RIAA to eliminate P2P file sharing software.

Having failed to excite public opinion over kids copying the latest Justin Timberlake hit, now they've decided to equate P2P with kiddie porn.

If at first you don't succeed...

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
