Kazaa, which in addition to music allows users to swap movies and other media files, said this week that its free software had been downloaded 100 million times.

Imagine throwing 100,000,000 people in jail? Perhaps it would be cheaper just to erect a barbed wire fence around the entire nation.

"the Justice Department probably had better things to do with its time."

Yeah, like raiding whorehouses, ( except not the Congress-Whorehouse)

[Arkinsaw]

No, I think making women drink their own breast milk to get on planes should be the priority or taking away dangerous pointy Medals of Honor.

Ha! The P2Ps will just go further underground, this technology is hear to stay. They would be better served learning how to utilize it like they did with recordable cassettes.

Hey man, what ever happened to "share the wealth"?

[Doe Eyes]

Terrorists are using the illegal trafficking of music to fund their activities.

Time for Ashcroft to "Roll".

The difficulty here could be that peer to peer is more or less the same thing as "home use" or "fair use."

It has recognized for years that it is legal for two people to "swap" tapes of music for their own personal use (ie, "I'll trade you a copy of 'the Rising' for a copy of 'Yankee Fox trot Hotel'").

Peer to peer is basically the same thing, only over the internet.

Therefore, I suspect a court may rule that such activity is perfectly legal.
