Even if the MPAA and other organizations turn BitTorrent into ShitTorrent, other networks will replace this wonderful P2P program and the battle will be neverending.

:) isn't that the truth!!
IRC will never die, and people keep coming out with better and better P2P networks that keep us safe from those money hogging, selfish people.

... and those of you lucky ones on the internet2, be aware that they are monitoring it already.
a word to the wise should be sufficient.

I think that the last refuge will be newsgroups. There are too many news servers and providers to ever truely crack down on it. IRC can still have a MPAA person on the other end. What does everyone else think will be the last place to crack down on.

i cant believe this, have they got nothing better to do or something, why dont they just worry about how to make their next million and leave people alone that arent happy paying their joke prices, for lets face it things that cost at least half the price that they charge us!

If you d/l jap anime is that concidered piracy aswell?

If you have the option to pay for it then yes it is piracy.

I believe i watched something on the news the other day where they said p2p is the main source of crime and such.It feeds crime gangs and protection rackets and such.Well here is a coule of facts that the news team should have taken in to account.

1.It is a very very small amount of p2p users who have any relation to crime gangs and such.

2.Taking away p2p sharing does not stop crime gangs it feeds them.Instead of being able to use these p2p sites it pushes people towards them that feed crime gangs.

3.Fact this will not increase there pocket size as another form of p2p will follow as always.

So what should they do well chasing the crime gangs and not the p2p users would be a great place to start.Bringing the price down would be another good thing to do.If these companys could get rid of every form of p2p would they knock the price down.For the small amount of profit they claim p2p sharers take away from them.This would mean they have it all would they drop the price so the people with less could afford to purchase.Bloody right they would not they would be the only source so they would bang the prices up.

What does it all mean well taking away means feeding the crime gangs and feeding the industry.The looser as always the consumer.

Those are very valid and excellent points, except...
