Japanese P2P developer arrested

It's getting out of control now! P2P just seems to be the place where new scandals and secrets will leak out to the public, with the power of anonymity we will see the more serious documents leak out. This is probably scaring the shit out of every government in the world :-)

i think you summed it up well, Dela. the more empowered the general public is, the more power the controlling elite lose.

Off topic yet on....ive been cutting my teeth so to speak building a website and my shipping template(music sales site for my store)needs to be configed for different item prices,single,multiple,etc,and for different countries.Its all in Php as far as ive been able to discern,so i have a a few questions 1.What the heck is it and why cant i find a host that can config my shipping template for us and not eu, 2.if i can find what i need from a host,will i be arrested,or will my customers info be at risk? Php has been a total blank spot for me,and now i see this post. Any suggestions. Please remember i have a very limited amount of exp.with things like this,so please dumb it down if you have an answer. Only thing im really good at is ut and quake.;) And "poor"at NeverQuest.:P

Ok....Now iv'e proven im a noob.Its p2p. So.....nm :D

Websites that employ PHP run the script on the server. This is unlike P2P where users share files peer to peer (i.e. without a server.) This doesn't work for sharing copywrited information with out appropriate permissions because unlike P2P where there are thousands of sources and recipients for each file, there is one source (you/the server) for all downloads. This makes a perfect target for lawsuites and to shut down the server.
