Not really. The P2P assm^H^H^H^H architects are reissuing new systems with holes patched reactively. There's no reason for a P2P system designed in 1996 to be water-tight to any threat model of 2010. (Strangely enough, they had IP nazis and lawyers back then, too).
I was surprised to see that the EFF listed ADCs as endangered tech. Because the hollywood nazis regard (and damn rightly so) the analog hole as real. That a fairly stead organization as EFF would regard the desparate death-sounds of hollywood as a serious threat to such basic tech was astounding. I've had cross-compiled code (for the MMC2107) identified as a virus (and therefore erased) by an antivirus program on a PC. This only lost an hour or two of work. Imagine that your medical measurements, or kids' performances, happen to match an ADC's copy protection codes. Imagine that all your silicon belongs to us, us=hollywood=congress. Imagine that all your printing presses belong to the State, for the protection of the commercial merde. ------ "Be neither perpetrator, bystander, nor victim" ---a commentator on the 60th anniversary of Auswitz, coming to a goverment center near you ----- Uranium --the Great Equalizer
