Good reading. Since most references are to "Gnutella/Kazaa", looks like the folks there assume Gnutella is here to stay as one of the key p2p players.

Nobody points out, that I could see, that anyone here or on the gnutella net, is sitting in front of 1000's of dollars of technology (with $1000's more less used stereo and TV equipment elsewhere), probably paying 100's of dollars a year in connection fees, to do WHAT? Get free stuff? Looks to me it's not about being "cheap" and more about the freedom to see and hear what others in this community think is good enough to share. Hell, we're even paying for others to use the bandwidth and the technology.

Every ISP and server should be attacking anyone who wants to hinder us paying for the privilege of a new internet technology.

Katgirl--you'll be back--and forth. Gnutella offers more than cheap music. You can get that on the radio or in a bar.

And as topbanana says--give us the power to make magnets work easily so we can securely email our stuff to each other and form whatever communities we want with gnutella.
