Re: [p2p-research] Fwd: meeting on p2p risks to national sec
More from the article: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9136053/Details_on_presidential_motor... """ Pointing to the examples offered by Boback, Towns said that the file-sharing industry's promises to regulate itself had clearly failed. "Specific examples of recent LimeWire leaks range from appalling to shocking," Towns said. "As far as I am concerned, the days of self-regulation should be over for the file-sharing industry." Other members want the issue investigated by the Federal Trade Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission and law enforcement authorities. They said that the continued failure by companies such as LimeWire to take more proactive steps to stop inadvertent file-sharing is tantamount to enabling illegal activity resulting from the data leaks. Towns plans to meet with the chairman of the FTC to determine whether the failure to stop inadvertent file-sharing constitutes an unfair trade practice by P2P companies."
