With the increasingly aggressive position being taken by organisations such as the RIAA, BPI, MPAA, the British Games Organisation it is not surprising that a new advancement in peer to peer technology has occured to make the P2P data transfer anonymous.  This article on O’Reilly describes a new bread of P2P that makes the traffic anonymous – ONLamp.com — Anonymous, Open Source P2P with MUTE.

The effect of P2P clients such as this getting traction is that it will become increasingly harder for industry bodies to understand how to at least try and contain losses to piracy (real or perceived) and utilise the technologies to propel marketing and promotional activities – so shooting themselves in the foot.
