Legislators have criticized software such as Kazaa, Morpheus and eDonkey for exposing users to spyware, pornography and the risk of lawsuits. Although protesting that their software was no more risky than use of the Internet at large, peer-to-peer companies have worked with the FTC to develop better consumer notification techniques.


The FTC included several of those proposals with its letter to Congress, saying that when implemented, they would do a better job of warning consumers.
