Oh. I think you're confusing "file sharing" and "P2P". Peer to peer equally applies to community-based networks (croudsourcing, etc.) as it does the distributed networking architecture, which is used for - among other uses such as VoIP, DCVS and IM - file sharing.

I don't think Steve was talking about file sharing.

Also, the sort of project I was talking about earlier in the thread would protect pre-release books with key pair encryption. It's a perfectly legitimate use of DRM.
