 Monday, September 09, 2002Legal SPOF
ISPs gird for copyright fights. A delicate detente is breaking down under pressure from peer-to-peer networks, placing two powerful industries on a collision course that could reshape the legal landscape for online file-swapping. [CNET News.com] This is an excellent example of why Internet access must be decentralized. The giant ISPs involved in these RIAA lawsuits aren't any more interested in protecting your rights than the RIAA itself is. Think of the giant ISPs are a legal single point of failure. We won't be safe online until that SPOF is eliminated. 5:26:39 PM   Coffee Catalysis
