Now that Napster has fallen to the pressure exerted by the RIAA, a hole in the MP3 sharing environment has been left in its wake. Though Gnutella is capable of much more, I think its best suited to fill that role for the many Napster users now left stranded. I wonder though, if the RIAA will be able to affect the Gnutella community. Even if Gnutella has no central authority to target, will it be possible for the RIAA to bring about any legal action against Gnutella developers for providing the tools to access the network?
