P2P Not Dead, Just Hiding
adavies42 writes "Contrary to media reports, P2P is not dying (PDF); it's just becoming harder to detect.

They wouldn't be very well hidden if we told you.
Give me Classic Slashdot or give me death!
47kb of actual free publically accessible "legal" information... should be enough for anybody.
You can take away my porn when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.
I want a new world. I think this one is broken.
If that's what you're holding, I'm not going anywhere near your fingers.

The only way the content cartel can get the last word in is to simply make encryption illegal worldwide except for authorized parties.
We're working on it.
