P2Pz!!!

Im sure most people reading this are aware of P2P resources on the internetz, and will probably at some stage have used them, hopefully for perfectly legit reasons such as sharing essays about how awesome Dragonforce are.

Recently P2P users have been coming under increasing pressure in some countries, what with the RIAA and other such organisations protecting the rights of artists and blah blah blah..... Recently though, these organisations have been made suck their own nines in many countries and have been dealt some heavy blows, mainly in America where the Dept of Justice told Congress that the RIAA wont be given any special treatment.

Aside from all the legal aspects (of which I know very little), im just happy that these people who are effectively trying to close off the internet are finally being stood up to.

Regardless of the legal aspects of pirated material, these laws that are being considered are so intrusive and restrictive that they are almost Chinese.

Its something that people should really be aware of if they care about their beloved internets, who knows what could happen to our beloved FTC blog? Wed have to set up a zine and write properly researched articles!
