If all you want to do is share files then you could try using http://gift.sourceforge.net/ and OpenFT. You should be able to set up a private P2P network for sharing files and it could save you some bandwidth if everybody wants to grab the same file.
I disagree - now what ?
I don't know if you all remember the RIP Bill that has now been made law in the UK. Take a quick look at the 3 minute guide at the Stand home page. The RIP Act relates to encrypted data such as email. Failure to decrypt your data when demanded to do so is a criminal offence and subject to a maximum penalty of two years. Forgetting or losing your password/key is no defence and you are presumed guilty. Please take a look at the 3 minute guide.
I, like many others, disagreed with the RIP bill and faxed my MP asking him to oppose the bill. It still went through.
In response to your question about what to do if you disagree. I still think you should contact your politician. Get your friends to do the same and be careful that lesser bills don't become law.
Just my 2 pence.

An Intel chip with another bug in it. I can't wait :-)
