IS IT? and how can this be quantified? Some distros of linux use P2P type file sharing to speed up installation of programs over the internet. Should file sharing be band or the shearing of particular files? If we stop file sharing on the internet wan't people how wan't to share files in a illegal way just move to privat networks(I put a modem on my computer and conect it to a phone line that I chouse who i give the number to, to allow them to dial-in and thay do the same and that way we make a network of freinds sharing files that are not on the internet. Some porn groups do this all ready) is that covered by the law? What about using CB's Citizen Band radio modem I know it's slow 9000kb but it's a start and dous not need a phone line. The problem is the MP's and lawers don't understand these techoniges and that it why the bill needs slowing down so that the MP's can be informed.
