cloak & dagger craziness

Interesting article regarding some of the goings-on with the file-sharing networks. The most eyebrow raising facts of the article regard a new software called PeerGuardian that is working to protect users from the watchful eyes of the RIAA and the major labels (the article states that the networks are legal, but that doesn't mean swapping copyrighted songs is), and the fact that the major labels have admitted to backing technology developments that freeze up PC's or delete mp3's directly off your drive. Definetly an "Us Against Them" mentality going on.
