Whether or not Kazaa is bad or not is irrelevent. The mad hordes have tasted P2P and apparently they savour the experience. Yes, it probably not good for the open software movement. However, it will change the business model of the entertainment industry eventually as people will refuse to pay 17 bucks for a cd with one or two good songs on it. P2P is a multi-headed hydra that is evolving along with the tactics of the evil RIAA and the BSA (boy scouts of america?) and the like. This has to be the most intelligent sounding board i have ever encountered, so my belief is that some uber geeks can create a P2P client that caters to distributing the latest open source then the movement might take off at a greater rate than today. P.S. First post!!!!! End corporate domination! choose Linux! Disclaimer- my sucky other PC runs 'ahem' backup XP!
