Speaking of BitTorrent, I don't know if you read Michael's Minutes:
http://www.linspire.com/lindows_michaelsminutes.php
[Michael Robertson, the [in]famous CEO of MP3.com and current CEO of
Linspire]
This week's Michael's Minutes talked about how Linspire 5.0 might be
illegal because it incorporates BitTorrent/P2P. The INDUCE Act is trying
to make all P2P software illegal, but it could have a lot broader effect
than just a bunch of copyrighted music.
No matter what you think of Linspire or whatever, I think it's cool that
they are giving new technology a shot. Not to mention that their CEO
writes (sometimes he just edits) a column addressing the crowd. I find
it... Linspiring?
