P2P Under attack
Viruses? Spammers? Phishing? Nah….what the Justice Department *really* cares about it catching those nasty Peer to Peer file sharing people:
Agents executed search warrants at residences and one Internet service provider in Texas, New York and Wisconsin. The warrants targeted the operators of five of the network’s “hubs,” rather than the individual users, and criminal charges are likely in the near future, according to the FBI. The hubs act as a central point for people granted membership to exchange copyrighted files, with some hubs containing data each day equivalent to 60,000 feature films. “The message is simply this: P2P or peer-to-peer does not stand for ‘permission to pilfer,’” Ashcroft told reporters.
