Very interesting article on the movie industry's FUD about movie downloading
via peer-to-peer, with a few interesting tidbits:

* BitTorrent now accounts for 53% of all peer-to-peer downloading, according
to CacheLogic, as of June 2004.

* Faint indications that the movie industry may go after BitTorrent like
they have gone after Grokster and Morpheus and try to shut 'em down.
