You can swap by mail which, if you have a slow connection, is faster. Let 'em try to filter that !! Then remember the millions of private ftp servers around the world. They can't stop everyone.

How long before someone invents a wrapster style application or invents a method of trivial encryption which makes these filters ineffective? This is similar to the old concept of building a fort to protect an area. The problem stems from the notion that the attackers can move about freely while the fort is stuck in a fixed position. These wonderful filters will always be behind the curve no matter how much effort they put into it. The Napster filtering fiasco should have pointed this out, but then again if you are dealing with an industry which refuses to learn anything, I suppose you can't expect any different.
