I'm with Ted and Tiger on this one, it is one thing to design a P2P network and it has the pipes to deal with the downloads. But fact is simple all P2P users think they are the pnly ones. My son uses Kazzalite and when he in on-line and I am on my connect is useless so I unplug him. I have a big pipe into the house and he thinks nothing of 30 to 40 MP3 download and maybe a video or two all at the same time (why if I am using his line is not connected). But is is also not fair to other broadband users mostly moms and dads on my leg of the connect because his activity will slow their use also, (an old man I care about my neighbors thing even if you do not know them). Fact is ports can be closed real fast and outgoing traffic can be watch just as easy P2P is a great concept if all users and the system are designed for a specific task. Face it the recent laws attempting to be passed are because of mass copying of copyrighted stuff. If you were a struggling music person that was lucky enough to get a contract to have your works published is this considered selling out or paying the rent, feeding your children or caring for your family? Just like JP here 24/7 he wants a life becuase 24/7 for free will not pay the bills...go figure Life costs money and hads nothing to do with selling out just feeding the children or life you may owe for college loans. Be i music, programs what ever you get what you give.
I believe that one of the characteristics of the human race - possibly the one that is primarily responsible for its course of evolution - is that it has grown by creatively responding to failure.- Glen Seaborg
