Do we take the bad with the good? do we allow P2P when it can create security issues?
Who cares about P2P? Hasn't malware like Outlook Express been responsible for far more information leakage than P2P software? I'll run Acquisition on my machine long before I'd even think of touching Outlook. The *only* reason this is being looked at as a security measure is because the RIAA and MPAA have convinced everyone that P2P = Anarchy, and Anarchy leads to planes flying into buildings. A rational person could come up with a much better reason to investigate whether MS should be allowed to be used at the Pentagon, the CIA, and in the battlefield instead of wasting time chasing the Napster ghost.

I've said enuf..... J From: Stephen J. Wilcox Hmm where do you draw the line.. peer2peer file sharing, MS Networking, SMTP, telephones, snail mail, visiting foreign countries, meeting people at all.. ? Seems a bit silly to me to be having the conversation at all, its people who willingly leak this information not the mechanism used thats at fault Steve On Fri, 13 Jun 2003, Richard Irving wrote:After all, how many meetings are there going to be assessing the risk SMTP has on National Security ? Or, as you mentioned, MS file sharing... And, remember, SMTP is -already- proven guilty of said Risk, and a far more -probable- culprit in future compromises... ! Reality Check. My .02c .Richard.

By order of the Chairman I wonder if anyone is going to mention that Microsoft Network Neighborhood file sharing is a form of P2P file sharing.
