With the US and other G8 countries trying to outlaw The Pirate Bay and its ilk, an anonymous reader suggests that a solution may have emerged out of Cornell University. A new open-source project called Cubit is an Azureus plugin that provides decentralized approximate keyword search of torrents in the network.

Sounds somewhat like Kademlia. I just hope that plugin isn't only developed for the Java-based resource hog Azureus, but for other clients as well. Now if only µTorrent would still be safe to use; all the rumours about it don't really make one want to upgrade.
