The fact remains that no amount of half baked jokes will do anything towards a constructive approach to build up legality and usability beyond stealing music, porn and movies in independent p2p networks.
Furthermore, a regressive attitude is the best hope for the riaa (note the small caps) to succeed in the long run, with hordes of bright people keeping and re-distributing Gs upon Gs of fakes from their WINDOWS folders, and what makes Kazaa the cesspool that it is today.
I haven't found one fake in Soulseek yet, but then Britney Spears is not the most popular content there either.
And the hard fact remains that some (count me in) have already started pushing the envelope beyond p2p traditional use, but of course are a minority when compared with the hordes feeding the "fakes" machine.
So I'll let up to those with a common sense approach to decide which way will help to preserve p2p, and which one will hasten its demise.
Just by looking at this very same thread, it should be easy to understand why do we desperately need to move beyond than where we are at today.
