i still don't get it why they target P2P software developers. it's just software which can be abused by the user. the user is responsible for what he does with that piece of software not the developer. you might as well sue google, e-mail / ftp applications developers since they enable users to abuse it as well.
now you can say that certain institutions should have access to user identities, just in the same vein that internet providers need to be able to sniff ip traffic for security reasons but if you look at that from a bird's eye perspective you might as well grant them access to everything, snail mail, parcel delivery etc. fortunately that doesn't happen due to privacy rights. then again they seem to have a double standard in privacy rights when communication and data transfer happens online.
it's just odd. somehow in the vein of protecting copyrights it's a bit turning into a police state.
