P2P In 15 Lines of Code

nile_list writes "Edward Felten of the very fine Freedom to Tinker has written a 15 line P2P program in Python. From the post on Freedom to Tinker, "I wrote TinyP2P to illustrate the difficulty of regulating peer-to-peer applications. Peer-to-peer apps can be very simple, and any moderately skilled programmer can write one, so attempts to ban their creation would be fruitless." Matthew Scala, a reader of Freedom to Tinker, has responded with the 9 line MoleSter, written in Perl."

What's wrong with paedophilia? You would prefer misopaedy? Paedophobia? Paedophiles are people who like children. People who aren't paedophiles should never have children. If no one was a paedophile, the human race would end! Do you want to be responsible for that? People were hung for much less at Nuremburg.
