Honestly people... Why all the fuss ? Encrypted file sharing is already here Filetopia Why bother using insecure systems like Napster, Cutemx etc. etc. ?
Having had math to tertiary level I have come to realise that it takes a special animal to be a mathematician:D Really weird ass people... Clever and usefull though;)
Check out this kick ass app www.filetopia.com. It has napster like functionality, but with many more usefull features. There is no global search yet (4 weeks). It uses strong public key encryption for file transfers and chat(!). Guess where people are going to go when the unencryted systems napster, cutemx, imesh, gnutella etc. are shut down ? Now no one can evesdrop on your searches and transfers:) Sweet...

" Sounds damn dubious to me. Also I don't like the way the FBI is the acting as the proverbial "L'Éminence Grise" in this matter. Conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day...
Reading through these comments I accept the justification for monitoring, although it leaves a bad taste... Where is the line drawn ? I have a clear vision of future society crippled by all pervasive monitoring. People lived like that behind the Iron Curtain and it has (and will continue to) stunt their development for decades to come. http://http://freenet.sourceforge.net/
