please it only impossible if you limit your friends to people you have personally verified.
do you know how difficult it is to keep perfect control over your friends list.
this pushes file sharing back to the 1:circle of friends you keep refering to being ok when i keep bringin up the vcr.
if it not a problem when your using it as a justification to differentiate between sharing to the swarm vs sharing betamax tapes
then the limitation should invalidate your objects to the filesharing in this case.
you can't have it both ways.

You and I are are are clearly two different ends of the spectrum. I want the copyright holders to maintain most of the rights to their work, you want them to surrender pretty much all of their rights in the name of fair use and you want to take away the tools that a copyright holder could use to go after those who do download illegally.

wow so me being against them using the copyright monopoly to select medium of distribution is surrendering all rights.

So tell me, if anyone can download anonymously, how do you propose people protect their material from those who are downloading it illegally?

so make new tools
ones that allow you to investigate without violating peoples privacy right
or embrace the technology so that it just becomes another distribution channel.
or maybe use more expensive tried and true investigative techniques that have served police for years when they go after the big piracy rings (just becuase they are not cost effective when going after individual doesn't justify not using them)
