    Legal P2P file sharing? Where's the fun in that?

  5. From the Peer Impact web site by mogrify · · Score: 2, Funny

    How will the music-sharing function of Peer Impact differ from peer-to-peer (P2P) sites and paid music download sites?
    Peer Impact is a proprietary, patent-pending business model that will not be announced to the public until the Fall of 2004.

    Am I going to get a "Shipping & Handling" fee

    I'd expect the cost of buying the track would be lower if the bandwidth costs for the selling organisation are to be partly shared by the customers. Oh wait, I seem to have my mindless optimism chip turned on again...
