Hmm, the RIAA did now allready crack down Kazaa in the Netherlands (FastTrack clone)... and as a result the dutch coder crew of the Gnutella client Xolox did discontinue because of possible law suits. It doesn't matter if the RIAA's behaviour is legal... the fact is there is a big threat over the heads of developers.

Would you take the risk of taking it against RIAA/NMPA, a bunch of lawyers and lots of money behind? I would be interested what do the current developers think... do they feel threatened, did they allready contact their lawyers or setting up any countermeasures? PS: Sephiroth you still think Gnutella needs no protection?
