In sort of related news, P2P file-sharing as been banned in Antarctica. The IT Director of the United States Antarctic Program has reportedly issued a memo to staff working at the South Pole telling them not to use P2P clients on the PCs at the organisation's facility there.
The concerns there, though, are not so much copyright based (damn those US science types, hindering the record labels' attempts to grow their share of the emerging polar music market), but more about bandwidth draining and security risks. The memo reportedly notes: "P2P applications have the potential to overwhelm the internet connections on the ice and inadvertently bring malicious software and traffic into the network".
