Using P2P To Make Gov't Documents Easy To Find

Posted by timothy on from the whaddya-mean-for-once? dept.

Trinition writes "Kim Zetter wrote for Wired News that "While legislators in Washington work to outlaw peer-to-peer networks, one website is turning the peer-to-peer technology back on Washington to expose its inner, secretive workings." For once, we have a concrete example to point to when citing the merits of P2P."

  1. The point by laserbeak · · Score: 0, Troll

    Micheal moore exposes government 'secrets' and the government will hate him even more, but the point is that although they will want to shut down his operatoion even more so, he got them where it hurts ;)

    the government will want to shut down the P2P ever more, but they made a fool of the government and brought on some media attention which is a bad thing for them.

    I guess there is more to it, such as a moral debate, but meh i just sctached the surface :)

  2. Coo coo president... by KD5YPT · · Score: 0, Troll

    Holy crap, from what I'm reading from their website... I now have strong evidence that the president did not become coo coo, we elected an already coo coo president in.
    Wait, I didn't vote, because I was too young...
    Trust the old thinker to screw up.
    "Hm... George Bush looks old... must make good president..."
    Not if he's suffering from dementia.

    P.S. Reading down the list, I don't quite mind the spoil of war, in fact, I say those money should go to the soldiers and their family. God knows what they been through over there (I don't know what, but I believe its tough, or worse). That and we won't have to foot the bill.
