   I'm glad somebody besides me brought this up.  I know several people, 
some in the US and one in the UK, who have gotten "desist letters" for 
running BitTorrent *clients*.

   One lady swears she had no idea she was sharing her iTunes library. 
Given her level of computer literacy, I believe her.

   I'd bet the DRM hawks are running keyword searches, and the kind of 
docs and software under discussion would probabably fly right under that 
radar, but it's still risky.
