Bush and Kerry on p2p

p2pnet.net News:- With George W. Bush and John Kerry trying to convince American voters that each would be better than the other at running America, p2p file sharing has come up. Kind of.

Predictably, both men are doing their best to dodge around INDUCE, but both seem have views on file sharing and p2p applications.


“President Bush’s campaign says Mr. Bush isn’t in favor of banning peer-to-peer technology because it has legitimate uses, though he wants to vigorously enforce copyright law,” says a September 27 Wall Street Journal story headlined Antipiracy Bill Divides Studios and Tech Companies.


“John Kerry’s campaign says he also supports copyright law, and a spokesman says that ‘widespread sharing and downloading of music, movies and software undermines the incentives of individuals and companies to create new content’.”


Now you know.
