"In addition, filming a movie in a theater without authorization would immediately qualify as a federal offense."
I wonder why they are so afraid of this? I can't imagine that anyone who would really want to see a movie would settle for watching something cammed off the screen as opposed to going to the theater or buying the DVD. If anything, they should be afraid of the high quality DVD DivX rips.
Sure, freenet is slow and clunky now, but it is still early in development. Give it a couple months to years, bugs will be worked out and everything will run much more smoothly. Not to mention the fact that RIAA lawsuits will increase participation in Freenet greatly. Also, the cost of bandwith continues to drop, and more people are getting broadband everyday, while the size of a mp3 file stays pretty much fixed.
P2P downloading could be considered an extension to apply to the current day.

Decibles are a measure of the perceived loudness of a sound. The way to convert from decibels to Watts/square meter is to use the following formula:
dB = 10*log(Intensity/threshold of hearing) where the threshold of hearing is 1e-12 W/m^2
0 decibels is the threshold of hearing.
120 decibles is known as the threshold of pain.
In short, decibels are the way of expressing the wide range of loudness that human hearing can pick up, while the intensity level (measured in W/m^2) is a measure of the amount of energy in the sound wave. And yes, for an increase of 10 decibels (or every bell), the intensity doubles.

...Kazaa has delivered quite a bit of content.
I wish they would go with a open source distribution system instead of kazaa. I wonder if Kazaa does become an official distibuter of files it would remove the spyware and adware.

But they do account for attempted votes..
