amnfinch writes "I saw this article on BBC news and frankly, I was blown away. Just another example of the relentless campaign to treat file swappers as criminals when their 'crime' is murky at best." Sir Haxalot provides an article on the flip-side: "CNN has a story on 'exclusive' Peer to Peer networks, that require 'knowing the right people and having a wealth of content on your hard disk to get into the clique.'"

    Many feel it's the only way to get posted to the front page these days. A scan of the daily articles that get posted supports this idea. Slashdot isn't just a cool nerdy tech news site anymore; it's become a voice of ideology.
