Can Poisoning Peer to Peer Networks Work?

andrewchen writes "Can poisoning peer to peer networks really work? Business 2.0 picked up my research paper from Slashdot and wrote an article about it. In my paper, I argue that P2P networks may have an inherent "tipping point" that can be triggered without stopping 100% of the nodes on the network, using a model borrowed from biological systems. For those who think they have a technical solution to the problem, I outlined a few problems with the obvious solutions (moderation, etc.)."

    Just got modded down to bad today. so I know what I am talking about.

    moderation will not work .
    first - all users will have to identify themselves and stick with that login - which is in essence exactly the opposite of what you would expect from an open p2p network.
    second, how would you moderate? by framing something in moderation codes you practicly give the administration of your country a legal way of saying "mod the people who break the law down !!", in such case, who wants to use p2p in the first place ?
