Zdnet.com is reporting that the RIAA along with its direct Legal assualts on P2P is going to also use other tatics to destroy or slow down P2P networks and the trading of files. As quoted from the story “One method uses software to masquerade as a file-swapper online. Once the software has found a computer offering a certain song, it attempts to block other potential traders from downloading the song.” This article really shows how desperate the RIAA is willing to go to destroy current P2P networks while promoting its own. Especially since there “right to virus” attachment to the USA Act failed.
