P2P used for accessing Cheney energy task documents
Edited on Tue Jul-20-04 11:21 AM by fsbooks
Download for Democracy, a campaign from Outraged Moderates, is trying a different type of file: US government memos, communications and reports.

Such documents are publicly available but they are not always easy to locate or download, the organisers say. Rather than clicking through a number of pages and making a large number of saves - the author says it took four hours to obtain energy taskforce documents used in a lawsuit against Dick Cheney - you can now obtain them all in one go thanks to a Kazaa-like P2P.

Personally, I've had great success with sharing such documents for a long time -- from the Diebold papers to Abu Ghraib to reports documented climate change, etc.
