Yeah, I live in a shared house, and something like this would be fantastic,
but lets not over-egg the pudding, it doesn't have to be unhackable, after
all what's the worst that could happen.
Even a superficial deterent system would be really useful here, being able
to limit peoples diskspace, and know who'd recorded what would be a
godsend....
Someone hacked it I'd kick their ass and delete a few episodes of 'songs of
praise' no big deal.
