    '"What is the Darknet? Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Darknet 
    is. Okay, actually, it's a term that some Microsoft computer scientists 
    came up with to refer to all the different ways that internet users can 
    swap copyrighted materials. In a paper they authored [DOC] for a workshop 
    on Digital Rights Management (DRM), these engineers predict that the 
    Darknet will grow ever stronger and more efficient while DRM technologies 
    will make legal right holders less able to compete with Darknet and are 
    ultimately "doomed to failure."'
