The thread seems to be wandering a little far afield from its original message (not that this is a bad thing).
I'm curious what people think of the claims that the P2P researcher puts forward in his paper. Anyone else read the whole thing? I thought the definition of "peer to peer" he uses is a little broad (he lumps in Slashdot and Youtube as examples of "peer to peer" sites, which may be theoretically true in the sense that they're about peers interacting with peers, but less so in terms of the way the term is most commonly used) but he had some interesting points.
If darknets finally achieve the same ease of use and selection as ordinary peer to peer, what implications could that have for the enforceability of copyright?
