RIAA messaging gambit faces countermeasures

To the Recording Industry Association of America, sending threatening messages to online music swappers is a potentially effective way to educate the public that trading copyrighted material is wrong. But to security geeks in the file trading community, the technique is just another volley in the electronic war with peer-to-peer opponents... and a rather trivial one at that.

Such a system exists - Freenet. Check it out at www.freenetproject.org - requests for data are relayed through one or more peers so it is almost impossible to tell who the originator was and the filespace (you decide how much to allocate) is encrypted. It is intended to encrypt the traffic as well - and the more requested an item is, the more copies of it are made on the network. Nevertheless, finding and retrieving data is currently a hit-or-miss affair.
