The Streamcast case leaves the record companies with no option but to sue hundreds or thousands of individual file-swappers. So that’s what they’re doing. It’s totally insane, but they’ve got no choice, and they’ll win the cases; there’s no real question in my mind that sharing out a copyrighted file on Kazaa is copyright infringement. I still think it’s a bad idea, since it bears a risk of increasing resentment of the corporations and thus increasing P2P use.

But the point of this post is that the EFF is working on alternatives, and you should all give them money. I did. How could I resist — with Streamcast, they finally won a case! (*grin*)
