So I would like some professional expert opinion to give her on this issue since it will effect the copyright inducement bill. Real benefits for production and professional usage of this technology.
In my opinion, P2P distribibuted systems are still an active research area and the more interesting applications aren't out of the academic research phase yet. Current prototype p2p systems include a storage-accounted remote backup systems (SCRIVENER) and a webcache (SQUIRREL). I know of at least two other prototype applications at Rice that are as yet unpublished. http://www.cs.rice.edu/CS/Systems/SQUIRREL/default.htm http://www.cs.rice.edu/CS/Systems/Scrivener/default.htm We won't know how many of these will turn into production systems for another few years. Of course, if INDUCE passes, then an unknown portion of this research area would be made legally questionable. Any consideration such a far-reaching legal change is at the minimum, very premature.
