P2P file traders targeted by cyber-assaults from music publishers may not be defenseless. NWFusion's Ann Harrison notes in "Anti-file trading measures raise high profile policy questions" that a NYTimes article May 5 suggested that state and federal wiretap laws might have some say on such activity.
Harrison also mentioned a company called OverPeer, which she says develops such software tools, as do others. She also said that a representative of the RIAA acknowledged legal gray areas (or worse) exist regarding some the the software tools in development, which Harrison says include Trojan horse programs.
