Paul: That sounds like a great job. Get paid to legally hack and crack. Hmm. Why is it legal for a record company while the individual would get thrown in jail? It's not presently legal, just changing the contents of someone's disk without permission subjects one theoretically to legal liability. Of course, when Congress was passing these laws, vigilante corporate action hadn't been considered. I also find it amusing that eventually, servers in out of the way nations with no corp ties to the US probably could host all of the MP3 files in creation, leaving the corporations the opportunity to violate US law to find out who was going to certain websites. Let's note that there are already proxy servers that could allow one some anonymity, many Chinese (China of course) web users already make use of this technique. _________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug
