lots of uproar lately about napster cuz it makes it so easy to pirate
music. here's an article about a thing called "freenet", essentially a
version of the Web that is sort of like napster but even more totally
decentralized and anonymous, which will cause even more problems for
copyright....

i like the passage where the creator of the system says:
 
"The potential for protecting freedom of speech is more
important than protecting copyright, which
is an economic tool."
