More on von Finckenstein's ruling: file-sharers remain anonymous

David Akin pushes the consequences of the ruling further, noting that some people (and you know who you are ;-) ) have been downloading television programming and movies with P2P file-sharing just like KaZaa opens the world to music file sharing. His column here.

Also in the Globe and Mail, George Emerson provides an essay on how von Finckenstein's rule is a little bit of push back not as dramatic but equally as valid as the Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence in their effect of rebelling against the overlording of the power elite. (My apologies for the inconsistency in the parallel -- of course, the judge represents the established rules and not those seeking to overturn establishment. Whatever, it sounds more dramatic this way and I think you get my point.)
