Am I the only one that sees the p2p opportunities?

I can just picture it. Instead of using torrents to distribute audio, video, and computer programs, people will use cloud computing. You'd pay using Paypal and then you'd go and download it from Amazon's servers. Once it was downloaded, you'd use a program and a password you'd been given to change it into the now illegally owned file. If one account got taken down, you'd start up another. People would start using identity theft just so they could get Amazon accounts, the real person wouldn't even necessarily have to worry about their credit rating suffering, because it would probably be easier for the impostor to pay the bill so that they could keep using the account.

I read that as "Amazon introduces raw block sewage" and it got worse from there.

What? You want profound comments? hah!

Is this different than renting web hosting?

It looks like web hosting to me, is that what it is?

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
