[REBOL] Re: black hawk down

As I understand it, (ie - probably wrongly:), the IOS/Morpheus link
will enable Morpheus to rightly claim they're more than just a
file-sharing service because they'll be providing distributed
computing as well. Unless the law is an ass, this should ensure the
guilty parties in an exchange of copyrighted material are those
making it available and those receiving it and not the distribution
method.
