Given the number of Brittney Spears and N'Sync and whatever else mp3 files that get shared using Gnutella, how can limiting a general purpose file finding network to just one file format of content - specifically the one file format which spawned the past few years of intellectual(?) property discussions, debates, lawsuits, and gods only know what else - possibly reduce the amount of "illicit usage" of Gnutella? To me, this program looks like it has a big fat bullseye painted on it for the RIAA since it screams "I am another napster!" By all means upload it, but I think the package description probably needs a little work. ;) -- Joseph Carter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Have chainsaw will travel <Knghtbrd> you people are all insane. <Joey> knight: sure, that's why we work on Debian. <JHM> Knghtbrd: get in touch with your inner nutcase.
