I agree completely!!
Cybereducation would be phenomenal in a p2p environment!
Other legitimate uses for p2p include the ability to publish research papers without regard for censorship or geographical restrictions; eg. security research which circumvents access control mechanisms, thus violating the DMCA; distribution of OSS, distributed hosting of online games, telemedicine, bypassing censorship protections such as the firewall which "protects" China from democratic ideas, other collaboration projects etc.

Just be wary of her "mind-meld" technique!
