Hey there .. don't want to be rude and become some lame flamer who wants to talk about P2P .. but i guess i am going to talk about P2P .. because i know everyone in this group knows about it, and the background history of it .. from napster to kazaa to whatever it is ...

so i need your help .. does anyone have any serious documentation on the side effects of P2P software in today's world? .. i have a whole bunch of documentation on it, but it is mostly on technical computer network stuff .. i was hoping someone has did some paper, picking on a freeware software, like kazaa, exposing the threats of it .. just as a source of documentation for myself .. thank you very much ..

google is your friend
