 Re: Re: Would You Support Non-Infringing use of P2P?

P2P may be a great way to distribute some non-infringing content like the latest Linux kernal or public domain literature to China, but it seems to me that in general non-infringing content like the latest Linux kernal or public domain literature draws a smaller audience than full blown copyright violations like Britney Spears mp3's or Brad Pitt jpg's.
Doesn't the issue become, "Is there enough interest in non-infringing content (or is there enough non-infringing content for that matter) to drive development of a non-infringing file sharing tool?"
My guess is the answer is there is not enough interest (i.e. traffic upon which you can sell advertising ) to make a viable, profitable, commercial venture. Which has implications for devlopment, obviously. | Please see the following thread http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...tent+Community
