Clay Shirky has a great piece on how the RIAA’s efforts to shut down file sharing services and file sharing users is driving the adoption of encryption technology by mainstream users. The fact is, people will share music. It is going to happen. The RIAA can keep trying to shut these services down, but all they are doing instead is pushing these system to evolve until finally something will be created that is immune to the RIAA’s legal efforts.
