I had no idea that such a big Supreme Court case was on the near horizon. This is worth being aware of. There is a hell of a lot to read here if you want to become an expert. I haven't read it all.

This is a difficult question. On the one hand I'm pursuaded that what Kazaa did is morally questionable. They designed this system for piracy and sold it for piracy. Thats what its for. There is no use being stupid about that. On the other hand I also think that they maybe ought to be able to release software like that as a matter of academic freedom. The people who are running it know damn well what they are doing. If Kazaa cannot be released then many interesting "hacking tools" that I have loved over the years would also be illegal. Even though they could be applied to perfectly legitimate purposes.

Do you think radar detectors ought to be legal?
