It seems to me there's an implicit assumption in this debate, that if
you are able to "manage" P2P, traffic will decrease.
I tend to believe that if you "manage" P2P, traffic wil take other
forms (ftp, http,.. whatever)
this is something that, to my understanding, apparently is starting to
happen with
- some web-based email services. "signaling" and "trust" are built on
some outside networks (forums) and transfer happens via email
(generally served from a different country)
- some online storage services
I think the decreasing cost of storage and large pipes is contributing
to this.
Should we inspect people's emails ? Are we sure P2P is *The* problem ?
I'd love to read your comments...
best, s.

A user can
a) not use the P2P app at all,
b) not download any files.
c)use it to download the files he wants, then turn it off (a
violation of the unwritten accords of the P2P community, but not
illegal, impossible, or even a breach of contract).
