I hope the Navy loses this court battle ("Navy to Defend Sonar in Court," June 30, 2003).
The price is too high. With all the brains in the Navy, I'm sure they can find another way to do the job they want done. All life came from the ocean; let's not destroy what is left.

This lunatic scheme by the Navy has a long heritage that goes back to the massacres of the Indians by the European invaders ("Navy to Defend Sonar in Court," June 30, 2003).
Whatever gets in our way, whatever limits our territory, whatever stands in the way of our limitless appetites: blast 'em. The NRDC is a heroic organization, one I support morally and financially.

The UDP protocol does nothing to provide anonymity ("Giving Sharers Ears Without Faces," July 1, 2003).
I feel your article is misleading and factually incorrect. UDP packets contain the same IP address information that TCP packets contain.

What does the RIAA expect to gain from going after "end users?" Recent studies have shown that peer-to-peer users tend to buy more music ("Giving Sharers Ears Without Faces," July 1, 2003).
Could the downturn in the economy have anything to do with slipping sales?
Blubster says they are anonymous. But to what extent? And with only 200,000 users, how much of the market are they really penetrating?
If you are worried about being anonymous on the Internet, you should look into something that will make all of your traffic anonymous, not just P2P. Check out www.anonip.com for more information.

I don't see why the music industry hasn't embraced new technologies and set up its own file-sharing networks ("Giving Sharers Ears Without Faces," July 1, 2003).
The advantages to the industry are too numerous to list in this small message, but imagine 10 million users paying just 5 pounds in subscription fees for unlimited access to industry archives -- 50 million pounds a year into the industry coffers. Stop trying to halt the march of progress and start looking at ways to use the technology that is available.

Hopefully, California's Supreme Court also handed down this advice to Ken Hamidi: Move on and get a life ("Ex-Intel Coder Wins E-Mail Case," June 30, 2003).
