[pp.int.general] Terminology: P2P

[John Fanning]

It is moronic. The internet itself runs p2p.

- I don't think a country would be monoric to actually say P2P itself is 
illegal.

Just a quick thing that I read multiple times, and would like to get 
accross:

- I don't think a country would be monoric to actually say P2P itself is 
illegal. I for one enjoy downloading stuff like Ubuntu via torrents, for 
example. Now sharing copyrighted material, on the other hand, is illegal 
in a few countries, may that be P2P or by other means. I think it is 
important to distinguish between the two, as it is legally (!) not the 
same thing. If we don't distinguish between the two, how can we expect 
lawmakers from traditional parties to do that?

Thx for reading this.
