LOL, you're posting from a British server. Substitute BPI for RIAA
and you'll find P2P lawsuits where you are too. So the question still
stands. What are you doing except sitting on your hands? And further,
what are you suggesting from your lofty perch that we do? Do you think
there's something grand and glorious and revolutionary about using P2P
for MP3s?

Isn't that exactly what you just told us your position is? You
think you're immune so it's not your problem? Personally I try not to
stand in front of bulldozers and I'm not particularly in favor of
rushing out to rescue adults who mindlessly do just that. I have
repeatedly posted about more sane methods than using P2P for MP3s in
volume. There's not much else I can do to keep people from doing
foolish things.
