I think this is pointless. You always have this situation. Everybody
ca do it on their webpages. Fedora , SuSE, many distributions already
use these networks as a way of distribution. I think it is good if the
content gets more and more legal. Don't discriminate the technology
because there are some legal concerns with some of the content. P2P is
a good thing. Many P2P applications are switching to only allow
donwloading of legal content.
