NeonWizard Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 While legislators in Washington work to outlaw peer-to-peer networks, one website is turning the peer-to-peer technology back on Washington to expose its inner, secretive workings.But outragedmoderates.org isn't offering copyright music and videos for download. The site, launched two weeks ago, has aggregated more than 600 government and court documents to make them available for download through the Kazaa, LimeWire and Soulseek P2P networks in the interest of making government more transparent and accountable.The documents include such items as recent torture memos related to the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, a Senate Intelligence Committee report on what the government knew before it invaded Iraq and a document showing how the Bush administration suppressed information about the full cost of its Medicare plan until after Congress passed the plan. There is also a copy of a no-bid contract obtained by a Halliburton subsidiary for work in Iraq and congressional testimony from former employees of the subsidiary showing how their company engaged in wasteful and costly conduct in Iraq (such as abandoning an $85,000 Mercedes truck after its tires went flat).Read Article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 No Torrents? If they want to spread these around then using what makes up 53% of P2P traffic would be a good idea too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 That's interesting, a topic about government deception and malpractice (granted not our own little cherubs) and all the 'concerned response' has been about P2P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 It's the fact that they are available from P2P sites that is off putting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
