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. k Greg Elmer wrote:
Is P2P research inherently illegal? Can one conduct research on Kazaa or other P2P program without breaking the law?
