p2p democracy

Two weeks ago, Thad Anderson, a second-year student from New York, has launched a website using the peer-to-peer technology to reveal Washington's inner, secretive workings.

Outragedmoderates has aggregated more than 600 government and court documents -- ranging from quotes on Bush's politic to recent torture memos or a copy of a no-bid contract obtained by a Halliburton subsidiary for work in Iraq-- to make them available for download through the Kazaa, LimeWire and Soulseek P2P networks in the interest of making government more transparent and accountable.

"I really think this is a crucial point, during my lifetime, for people to really look at what's going on with the government and make it be more accountable for what it's doing," declared Thad Anderson . "The president and vice president have used executive privilege to withhold documents that almost every president for the last 30 or 40 years has released."
