    actually a "true" P2P is just that, peer to peer, with no central server to
    catalog available titles and mediate the file transfer, so this means that
    unlike audiogalaxy a true p2p can never be shut down as long as the client
    software is available (which in this case also doubles as a server and relay
    server) I believe that this is how the original Gnutella worked, and it's
    heirs, like Kaza (correct me if I'm wrong) So eventually everyone will
    migrate to the true p2p file share systems, and there will be no way for big
    music to shut them down... unless they start going after the users
    directly, which hopefully will be too much trouble for them....
