I'm not as into this area as anyone posting but my brief input is to draw a parallel to mass production vs. the old craftsman way of making a product that still echoes from the industrial revolution. p2p might be impersonal and kind of sloppy but it's much more effective at larger scales than irc. And people who want to pay a premium in effort can still use the old way.
And being out in the sticks with only dial-up means I couldn't really afford the old way.
