Peer to peer under attack

Gleaned from Metafilter: There’s a bill before Congress that would allow copyright holders to launch denial of service attacks on peer-to-peer networks. Again, we’re seeing that the only way that Hollywood and Washington know how to deal with file sharing is with the bluntest instruments possible. Denial of service attacks would block not just illegal uses of file sharing, but legitimate ones as well. I’ll go surfing later and try to find the actual text of the bill.
