From: ggilliss at netpublishing.com (Gregory A. Gilliss) Subject: Fwd: SeeWhatYouShare.com Forgive me for being suspicious of a Web site that is less than one month old and that is presumably based in Eastern Montana, ... There seems to be a thread of articles purporting to trumpet the security dangers of open source/peer-to-peer computing all of a sudden. While I don't doubt that there exists the possibility that information can and is leaked by these technologies (due, likely, to them being misused and misconfigured by clueless newbies), I am afraid that this is the beginning of a ground swell attempt to restrict these technologies in the name of "national security", thereby allowing the government to do what the RIAA and other well-meaning" capitalist money grubbers have failed to do. Information should be free. G On or about 2004.07.28 10:45:46 +0000, Gideon T.
