Towns Wants P2P Software Banned on Federal Computers

摘要

Describing inadvertent file-sharing over peer-to-peer (P2P) networks as, at its worst, "predator-to-prey," House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Edolphus Towns (D., N.Y.) has said he plans to introduce legislation to ban "insecure, open network, peer-to-peer software" from computers and networks used by the federal government and government contractors. He also suggested that the FCC take a look at the issue.
