If you write GPL software you are most likely broke, don't own anything and therefore don't have to worry about law suits for damage anyway.
GPL doesn't protect you from law suits. If you make $$ from your program you are a bigger target because you have something to go after.

There are no central servers! Everyone on the network gives a little bandwidth, and gets a little bandwith, so it evens out mostly.
It's file "sharing" at its best.
There are a few greedy people who try to profit off of the "free" bandwidth, they write P2P programs and display ads on people's screens while they "share" files. Bad karma will catch up with them.
