Submission + - Time to encrypt all P2P traffic? 3

I think that almost any current PC would have no problem handling the extra load, and really, Comcast or any ISP has no business knowing what you are sending in the first place. I am not a network guy but I think that this is doable. If azureus, ktorrent, etc were all to come out with an "encrypt all packets using " option maybe this could be managed quickly and cleanly. It would be best to move quickly before all of the ISPs catch on to this. Come on developers, liberate us from the network meanies!!

Those requirements only apply to sales by traders. Items sold by private individuals only have to be 'as described'.

A particularly active eBay seller might be considered a trader, but people trying to get rid of their old stuff don't need to worry.
