Just the other day someone was telling me about his favourite file-sharing package, a Windows application called Winny which purports to encrypt and anonymize everything in much the same way that Freenet does. Unfortunately, Winny's source code doesn't seem to be available, which may mean that continuing support will be a problem now that its developer, an "assistant researcher" at Tokyo University, has been arrested. I'm not sure what North American rank that actually corresponds to - it sounds like it could be anything from a graduate student "research assistant" like me or even lower-ranked, on up to an Assistant Professor. Story from Mainichi Daily News. [Academic arrested for writing file-sharing program]
