We could all agree that the current P2P world just does not mix with the basics of our current economy. Something is going to change either P2P or our economy. Probably P2P because it is smaller. P2P with music & movies has not yet reached the disruptive technology stage for sure. 100 million downloads does not equal 100 million regular users by a long shot.

The current M with Gnutella is not the second M though.

A M Win32 C++ client actually existed before the OpenNap deployment with loose links to Napster clones way back in the spring of 2000. Then came OpenNap, then M + FT and then M + Gnutella as a stop gap measure.

Anyway, nobody seems willing to guess a set of dates. I am surprised.

Don't know what mole is refering to though. First I have heard of it although it would amost be expected. There is starting to be quite a few ex MusicCity people sitting around with time on their hands.
