I just saw this over at NewScientist. US internet provider told to unmask file-sharer. This could be a grim day that marks the end for internet freedom. And maybe the old school internet altogether.

A US court has ordered an internet service provider to reveal the identity of a user accused of illegally downloading hundreds of copyrighted songs. The ruling is a landmark for the music industry.

The ISP involved, Verizon, has said it will appeal. But if that is unsuccessful, the ruling will clear the way for copyright holders to pursue many thousands of individuals suspected of copyright infringement through peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing networks.

There is still hope of course. For the future we can expect encrypted P2P networks that are untraceable by design. So if this is a set back, it is only a temporary one.
Can someone please hack the RIAA webpage again?
