Senator Orin Hatch from Utah; basically said anyone architecting a p2p system is a criminal. This was 2003-4?

yes, but this "religious" issue will become a very real issue if it
becomes illegal to write p2p applications in any form, because they
*might* be used for sharing non-free content. that's another reason why
p2p and grid technology should become aligned. it's one thing for the
media companies to shut down tiny file-sharing sites using p2p, but it
will be much harder to attack the federal government labs and large
corporations that are using grid computing.
Didn't the USA government try to do this before, and then someone brought up the point that the whole Internet is a peer-to-peer technology?!
And that the proposed law to make peer-to-peer technologies illegal (in the USA) would make the Internet, the Web, etc illegal too?! (Or am I thinking of something else?)
See ya
