Let’s face it. The congress knows nothing about computers or the internet. Harry Waxman feels that “P2P technology could be a national security threat by leaking sensitive information out over the internet”. I can see where they are going, but they are blowing it out of per portion. Now, they want to “Heavily regulate the use of P2P technology”. So, why do they think this is a national security threat? Well, here’s why. You can share entire folders of content in Limewire as well as many other programs. Some lady had her daughter set up a P2P program for her. She “accidentally” shared a folder that had sensitive information in it. So now, the congress wants to “heavily regulate” P2P technology just because of some lady’s stupidity. The government knows nothing about computers. Remember , Sen. Ted Stevens described the internet as a “series of tubes”? These idiots need to check their facts before they start rattling off lies.
