This, I like. Sites that offer free music and promises of 100-percent legality are under examination by the Center for Democracy and Technology, which is requesting action from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). We're not talking about file-sharing sites, but sleazy operations that sell P2P software easily available free of charge elsewhere, and reassurance of safety. The complaint centers on the misleading claims of legality, but that's not the most heinous problem in my mind. More scandalous is the selling of pointless software and the outright deluding of customers. Some would say that file-sharing companies like KaZaA and Grokster do exactly the same thing—indeed, that sort of thinking lies behind the temporarily defunct INDUCE Act, which claims that file-sharing companies induce innocent individuals into the realms of pornography and unauthorized music. But there is a crucial difference between offering software which can be used for both legal and illegal activities, and selling software which represents a lie with every transaction.
