yes..that's right! p2p is the biggest collective action endeavour on net. it surpasses well ahead on the worthy contendors wikipedia or so called customer generated content sites as youtube and the community development platforms for tools such as seamonkey or mozilla. in one of the estimates by IEEE it was said that about 40% of internet traffic in North america is p2p.
it is not much of a hard work to see what could be the reason behind the grant success of p2p technologies. the latest movies, games, music and programs without spending a penny. the mindset of pirate are so easy to read. "self interest" or is it so???
even when such a thing is illegal the popularity surpasses anything else. how much they try MPAA is unable to counter the growth around the world. when napster went down there came umpteen number of replacements. for one stage6 there came vreel to veoh.
collective action against collective action.. all the major studios, biggest law firms and law enforcers are trying to put an end to the phenomenon. but it just refuses to die down. it is just that the pirate tradition has transcended to the modern world. but a collective phenomenon at such a level , I wonder if such a thing ever happened
