FTC RELEASES STUDY ON EFFECTS OF P2P
The FTC has released a report on peer-to-peer file-sharing
technology, finding that it offers both benefits and risks.
In comparison with overall Internet use, however, the FTC
concluded that "workshop participants submitted little
empirical evidence concerning whether the risks arising from
P2P file sharing are greater than, equal to, or less than
these risks from other Internet-related activities." Report
