Add your response to RIAA Body Count - Sept 18: Response from: Mood Disorders In the past 6 months, the war against P2P has reached a critical stage. Courts from around the world (including the United States, Spain, Taiwan and Australia) have united in their decisions against P2P operators and ordered some of the most popular to shut down their operations. It appears that as quickly as P2P has spread since Napster , the closing down of operators is now happening just as fast. Response from: P2P Rehab No matter how many lawsuits they throw out, the people are always going to win. There's no way to prevent people from wanting to share information without constraint. I just don't think it's ever going to be possible - another network will spring up right where the last one left off.
