Congress Moves to Criminalize P2P

Senators introduce legislation to impose jail time for sharing as little as one file, while the House may consider a bill lowering the bar for taking people to court. Entertainment lobbyists appear to be winning their war against peer-to-peer networks.

While this is in the US, and the British version of the RIAA the British Phonographic Industry are beginning to think of chasing file sharers, be aware that there is not very long left of the 'Golden Years' of music sharing. Get them now, while you can, and make sure you block your ports so they can't find you anyway.
