Apparently someone at the RIAA (or the MPAA) forgot to take care of the guys at the General Accounting Office. The GAO has released a letter to Orrin Hatch informing the Senator that his statements linking P2P software and kiddie porn are flat-out wrong.
Contradicting lurid testimony at several congressional hearings earlier this year, the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) insists that pornography available on peer-to-peer (P2P) networks is "not necessarily" more dangerous than what is readily available on Web sites.This must also be disappointing to the RIAA, who has been trying to smear P2P software as a kiddie porn-choked scourge on society.
Very heartening to see that neither politicians nor the corporations who own our major news outlets seemed to bothered by the facts here.
