of course p2p is the way to distribute this but i doubt the justice department can admit there is any positive 
legitimate use for p2p.

(i’ve been surprised that it hasn’t made it to wikileaks or bittorrent yet.  “russiar, are you listening?”)

(i sure hope there’s a signed version or at least a hash.)

i predict there will be versions with fake content, missing content, and malware inserted that are distributed as

Parkinson's law always comes to the rescue:-)
More faster and efficient processing architecture, Hyper transport buses, amd-64 Branch prediction.
Massively faster storage subsystems and disk arrays, SSD slab caching for hypervisors

In 1998, the bandwidth pipes never filled up. The chokepoint was in the

running down the street holding a CD was faster than 1998 internet :-)

We were also lucky in 1998, no one had thought of DDOS yet.
