>>>As to the title, IRC has a huge advantage on all current p2p programs, the anonymity factor.

Not true at all. While some IRC networks do not show your IP or censor the end of it, if you are downloading (via dcc) from another computer your IP IS KNOWN! You never know who you are downloading from and they do have your IP.

But i believe by law once they offer it up for aa download whether it be via DCC IRC or what ever form of downloading there is they lose the rights to complain about it and sue since technically they are the holder of the copyright and they are the one allowing it to be uploaded.

Would sort of be like the pot calling the kettle black.
