[Air-l] peer2peer rsearch

[Karim R. Lakhani]

interesting question --> i guess it depends on what you are trying to 
do? if you download files of Kazaa etc then you may be violating your 
ethics committee rules...but if you are studying user behavior etc then 
I don't see what could be illegal about it.  O'Reilly recently published 
a whole book on P2P.
