    To be honest, I can't see why. Even if it were, it's better money spent that way than on arms and bombs. It's not like there's going to be downloading of AK47 manuals or the Anarchist's Cookbook.

    The RIAA coming after you and bankrupting you for sharing copyright music and vids on kazaa or a mliltant muslim coming after you with a scimitar to cut off your hand for sharing porn on EarthStation 5.
    hmmm.......

    one of the articles claims that it cannot be blocked or throttled, can't the ssl port not be blocked? Also is it open source? is available for linux?
