Can Gnutella be made anonymous???

[Bat-te-ry]

Will it be possible for future clones (ie GnOtella) to make all users anonymous? If this can be done then the RIAA will have no way to prosecute anyone. I believe such a feature would really ensure the survival of gNet!

whatcha think?

Unfortually that wont help... chances are if someone wants to spy on the gnutella network they can just have a custom client view the contents of the traffic (query/query replies)

Disableing the feature in this client wouldnt stop people from using other clients to spy.

but wouldn't it be possible to add a "spoofer" to a gnutella client that hides your identity to anyone on gnet...
