I'm puzzled as to why you're taking offense to the obviously op-ed comment about Sauron when you and the author appear to be on the same side of the argument...
Anyway, P2P as a technology could be very promising. A lot of innovative ideas in computing today came about though the underground and hacker scenes. No, I'm not afraid that the RIAA or the MPAA will single-handedly ruin this great technology. We all know from past experiences that progress is made in even the most inhospitable environments. Unfortunately, P2P networks will be used for illegal activities long after the RIAA and MPAA and all the other players in this alphabet soup lose interest. If there's one other thing we have learned in our brief computing history is that everything has a legitimate and illegitimate use, and both will be employed.
