Wired News: Next for BitTorrent: Search (via Slashdot)

"In this environment, a comprehensive search facility operated by BitTorrent's creator could be a bright red bull's-eye to content industry lawyers, says Mark Lemley, a law professor at Stanford University Law School and an expert in intellectual property and internet law."

That's exactly what I thought when I read about this on Slashdot. Why does he want this kind of headache? Does he really think the revenue is going to offset the trouble he could get into (whether or not he deserves the trouble is another matter).
