The controversy surrounding AllPeers

There has been something of a storm over the new hyped peer-to-peer software over at www.allpeers.com. And it hasn't even been released yet, it's still in beta.

From what I can gather so far it is:

1. P2P using a BitTorrent client
2. fully integrated with Firefox
3. media file oriented, so you get to share all your media files with selected peers
4. open source
5. and free "as in beer"

I find it hard to believe the authors' contention that no legal issues can be raised, especially since their discussion of the issues do not make much reference to technical legal details. At any rate at this moment it remains controversial.

You can also read more over at their blog.

And since I've been studying current developments in psychology

As much as I enjoyed 33 x Around The Sun I am, in the last instance, discouraged by the looney atmosphere of the mental hospital. At the risk of sounding like a member of the PC entertainment police it seems a bit stereotyped to put a bunch of people in this setup without considering the advances that have been made in the field of mental health. It does not really harm the exploration of consciousness though because the institutional framework is merely a backdrop for the main themes. At most it would have been refreshing to see a more progressive milieu.
