You left out the coolest part!

" Information Wave will also deploy peer-to-peer clients on the Gnutella 
network from its security research and development network (honeynet) 
which will offer files with popular song titles derived from the 
Billboard Top 100 maintained by VNU eMedia. No copyright violations will 
take place, these files will merely have arbitrary sizes similar to the 
length of a 3 to 4 minute MP3 audio file encoded at 128kbps. Clients 
which connect to our peer-to-peer clients, and then afterwards attempt 
to illegally access the network will be immediately blacklisted from 
Information Wave's network. The data collected will be actively 
maintained and distributed from our network operations site."
