right or wrong, P2P has allowed many people to branch out and find new avenues of music, programs, and other things.
P2P philanthropy is the most effective way for people to change careers, music genre's or simply looknig for something their company won't buy them.
to argu it as a negative is useless. there was a time when our economy was doing ok. need for P2P sharing was obsolete. But as economy weakened, individuals began realizing the purchasing $$$ software just did not fit into the now extremely tight budget. this you had CD swapping. call upa few friends, ask if you knew someone with PS or IL and presto you all meet up and trade CD's. free of course.
P2P just took this model further by allowing the folk with tight budgets and empty wallets to still make it. Plus, for the music fan it opened a whole new world for people that just liked the one song...which wasn't released as a single, nor worth the money to buy entire album.
all in all, the people i don't have respect for are those that make phat wads of money and have the time to get the programs but simply don't out of greed. i would argue that that is roughtly 5-8% of the market. the rest of us are broke wankers that just need a fix every now and again.
