The Spanish government has passed an intellectual property provision that bans its people from using P2P technology in their filesharing ventures. This is because the government of this country thinks that illegal downloading of copyrighted materials is being made easier and more accessible by those P2P client applications. It is now punishable by this country's laws to install and subsequently use a P2P program on computers. Plus, the government of this country has even imposed higher taxes on various data storage devices!
