Thanks Danyl,

I suspect that with large data, even unlimited data accounts only just becoming affordable for more people (here in Australia) that the Torrent culture is yet to go mainstream.. hence the dismal quality of discussion in the main about P2P as a technology, and file sharing as a potentially incredible cultural awareness phenomenon. My own opinions here: http://www.leighblackall.com/2012/04/p2p-bittorrent-pirate-bay-and-new.html

Pirate Pay (a Russian company, funded by Microsoft) are offering to

monopoly-holders pay for the "service":

"There is tenderness only in the coarsest demand: that no-one should
go hungry any more. That children go hungry, that they will be cold
and starving, and uncared for this winter, right here in New York,
condemns every fine word said in favor of the current social order by
the sock puppets whose fine, well paid job it is to find excuses for
it."
- Theodor Adorno
