Special/Investigative Report
1.MUTE - Truly Anonymous File-Sharing?
So how does this keep your identity sealed? It uses methods of encryption to hide your host. Instead of seeing your IP address (ie. 123.45.678.9) you'll see a "virtual address", something like this: HA3D3DSKXME3654DSAD35DSD. It's almost impossible to decypher your real hostname. The only people in the MUTE network that see your actual IP address are those "seed nodes" that we talked about earlier. These seed nodes are the only ones making a direct connection to you, therefore all searches and file transfers come from those seed nodes. They have to know your IP address to be able to connect to you and send you information. However, these seed nodes do not know your virtual address. Therefore there is no way for anyone to connect your IP address to your virtual address on MUTE. There is on one exception however; that is if every seed node you connect to is owned by them, however this is a very unlikely scenario as the seed nodes you connect to are chosen in a pseudo-randomized way

Law professors examine ethical controversies of peer-to-peer file sharing
According to the article:
"The practice of peer-to-peer file sharing has reached a crossroads and has the potential to take off as an increasingly popular and vital method of sharing information. Or it could collapse under the weight of its own controversy as lawyers and politicians try to negotiate the intricacies of copyright protections and the legality of certain file-sharing networks."
""What is the RIAA doing aside from suing people?" Lessig asked. "It's an industry organization trying to use the law to protect themselves against competition.""

The Lockyer p2p letter
According to the article:
"When we took a look (around 8:50 pm Pacific), Google News had 93 stories centering on the letter leaked from the office of California state attorney Bill Lockyer.
Not one headlined the fact that the letter was put together with help from Hollywood."
"The MPAA, which can only be described as having an enormous vested interest, was allowed - if not encouraged - to have a significant hand in the preparation of a text which will ultimately be promulgated as an official document by Lockyer, who's the president of the National Association of Attorneys General."
