Your P2P is so small, you need tweezers to run a file transfer!

A P2P (Peer to Peer, such as KaZaA and Emule) file sharing application that was written in 15 lines in Python code is now available here. I do not predict this will be the next big P2P app but this is just an example of how easily and quickly P2P applications can be produced and distributed.

A bill such as the INDUCE Act could make any attempt to produce, distribute, or execute such programs illegal as it is overly broad and generalistic. Is this bill going to do any good? Will it put an end to copyright infringement on the internet? Will it be as successful as our "War on Drugs", which seems to be only letting the druglords make more money? Making something illegal does not make it go away, this attempt is futile. There must be a feasible way to execute this plan if they plan on introducing the INDUCE Act.

The backers of the INDUCE Act also do not seem to note that P2P also has other uses than copyright infringement. P2P applications can be used to also distribute legal files such as Linux distributions and copyright free media, both of which can be very large files. P2P can alleviate the problem with centralized file distribution. For more information on this see this Wiki article about BitTorrent.

Now go back to being counter productive....
