@moonman seriously. #p2p is a lot worse. right now, you can opt-out of being tracked by using services that you host yourself or that you trust not to track you. the way p2p world is currecntly shaping up, everything you do is a matter of public record.
a lot of people in the "redecentralize" movement are super into transparency to avoid having their brand sullied by pirates. "you can't hide anything so only legit data is going to be transmitted over our network", they say. a valid point i suppose, but that sentiment strongly echoes "you don't need privacy if you have nothing to hide".
of course, strong privacy will enable piracy. there is nothing we can do about that because you can't have selective privacy. the question is, what do we really care about? do we care about users, privacy, and freedom or getting patted on the head by the powers that be?

@xj @moonman @gaditb It's not like the NSA has directional listening antennas in my local shopping mall. If they do listen to the whole world, it's in the ISP NOCs. Why is going through my wireless ISP any worse than going through my wired ISP?
