Default Teacher fired for P2P lecture - 20-05-2005

Well, basically the thread title sums it up. He was fired for giving a lecture on the benefits of P2P.

Every time I see one of these typed of articles, I remember how thankful I am to live in a country where these sorts of organizations (X media association of X) have little to no power.
