U.S. lawmakers have asked Attorney General John Ashcroft to go after Internet users who download unauthorized songs and other copyrighted material, raising the possibility of jail time for digital-music fans. In a July 25 letter released late Thursday, some 19 lawmakers from both sides of the aisle asked Ashcroft to prosecute "peer-to-peer" networks like Kazaa and Morpheus and the users who swap digital songs, video clips and other files without permission from artists or their record labels.

I start to hate that clown called John Ashcroft :angry:

well, they can stop this 2, but they can't stop the rest....some how or rather, there will always be pp; who can provide the source.....

no way that they can curb it entirely....thats how i feel...

Never Ever will p2p stop. How can you stop millions of people from doing what they want to do. More and more people get new computers everyday. You cant just enforce something like this. It is illegal to tape a movie from tv but how many people you know do - and on a regular basis. When cassette tapes were the thing everyone copied them.

P2P is here for good untill the next new thing appears.

P2P has made world wide communities of people, that get on with each other, why - because of sharing things.

These people with titles never look at the good things that are achieved, only look to there wallets!!! And that is a fact.

There are some process started...
