Glad to hear someone making sense about digital audio. We all have the right to hear audio in the best possible form. The recording industry was started to get music out to people. It has no right to limit the technology we use to exchange music between friends. Obviously we have been allowed to make copies of cd's on audio casstes. In the recent years on cd-r's. What I think what scares them is the ability to not only share with friens but complete strangers.
You are assuming that there is no voice recognition out there. It would be very easy to sample all songs recorded in, say, the last 10 years. Those samples would be integrated into a voice recognition program. Boom! You got yourself a litlle sniffer to weed out all the falsley named songs. Ok engaging in trades could be considered entrappment, so it might not be used. Then again all those FBI and Police stings to weed out the child-molesters involve the police engaging the bastards. Assuming entrapment is protested, sniffing pacets of data being exchanged between servers might do the trick. It could be set to sniff random packets on the server to keep all those privacy advocates happy. The wonderful (....being sarcastic here) Congress will approve and say hello East Germany and Big Brother. The 'safe' net.
