The Independent in London has a good interview with Ian Clarke, the man
behind the Free Network Project. If you think Napster has the music industry

Ian Clarke may have developed the next Napster, but one that will not be
liable to attack through the law courts or subject to meddling by the US
Congress, as the music-sharing service presently is.

Clarke's project is called Freenet.  Music Week, the UK music industry
magazine, recently called it "a new time-bomb the industry must defuse".
Clarke says that what he is really developing is more like an improved
version of the internet.
