P2P doomed and its all Nambla's fault.

US PoliticsThe music industy to date is still unable to motivate senetors and members of congress to shutdown peer to peer networks but start talking about child porn and every one changes thier tune.

According to a online wired news article written by Joanna Glasner titled "P2P Taken to Task for Child Porn", "Several witnesses, representing law enforcement and child-protection agencies, blamed peer-to-peer networks for contributing to the spread of illegal pornographic images by allowing users to cloak their identities."

But the problem isn't the Peer to Peer networks, as Wendy Seltzer of the Electronic Frontier Foundation was quoted for wired news "We don't have hearings calling the photo industry to task when their film is used to create child porn" The same goes for media mail. If I sent a bomb to my local abortion office the entire US postal services wouldn't and shouldn't be shutdown. The same goes for peer to peer networks.

The funny thing is that according to Glasner,this hearing took place one day after the recording industry filed thier 261 suits against music swappers. It makes me wonder if these two events are some how connected.
