Rescheduled: P2P file sharing national security and personal security risks
June 10, 2003 NOTICE OF RESCHEDULED FULL COMMITTEE HEARING The Senate Committee on the Judiciary scheduled for Wednesday, June 11, 2003, at 2:00 p.m., on .The Dark Side of a Bright Idea: Could Personal and National Security Risks Compromise the Potential of P2P File-Sharing Networks?. has been rescheduled for Tuesday, June 17, 2003 at 2:00 p.m. in Room 226 of the Senate Dirksen Building. By order of the Chairman I wonder if anyone is going to mention that Microsoft Network Neighborhood file sharing is a form of P2P file sharing.
IMHO: No more, or less, than SMTP. It is -that- simple. (Of course, SMTP is how China got Nuclear Secrets out of America :( ) FWIW: This is more tempestuous reactions at High Levels, that would normally have been laughed off..... Except P2P's are annoying the Recording Industry execs, and they have $$$ on the line, so..... $$$ has a way a bringing things to light that would otherwise simply have been ignored.... But, for this to make it to the NS Risk Assessment groups just demonstrates the licentious influence between the Current Administration Policies and "Money Men". After all, how many meetings are there going to be assessing the risk SMTP has on National Security ? Or, as you mentioned, MS file sharing... And, remember, SMTP is -already- proven guilty of said Risk, and a far more -probable- culprit in future compromises... ! Reality Check. My .02c .Richard. My, what interesting times we live in, and darn it, important people noticed me! :{ Sean Donelan wrote:

Uhh, this is a senate committee, not an administrative effort. And folks like Berman (the RIAA vigilante bill) and Feinstein (the MPAA) are Democrats. And you misused "licentious". http://news.com.com/2100-1023-954591.html shows that this kind of effort has been going for a while. -- Eric A.

Hmm where do you draw the line.. peer2peer file sharing, MS Networking, SMTP, telephones, snail mail, visiting foreign countries, meeting people at all.. ? Seems a bit silly to me to be having the conversation at all, its people who willingly leak this information not the mechanism used thats at fault Steve On Fri, 13 Jun 2003, Richard Irving wrote:

I am a very very poor student of history (my secondary school only offered a strange variety that I never paid attention to) but I recently have come to associate in my mind the current US (and UK) admisitrations to the distant TV-based views of the 1950s in the US, when accusations 'anti-americanism' or being a communist meant the administration waived your constitutional rights for you - just now the accusations are either 'terrorism' or 'anti-globalism' (to grasp at a poor analogy). The problem - to try to steer this bus back onto topic - is the sheer amount of self-policing that the powers-that-want-to-be want us to do. Or it becomes our fault. Peter
