Anonymous Coward writes "PBS has an interesting look at the emerging commercialized P2P networks brought to light by Cringely. With the news of Sky's default bundling of commercial P2P applications in its broadband software, many users seemed to be against the idea of getting nothing from providing Sky with their upstream bandwidth for free. Meanwhile, PeerImpact, seems to be rewarding users for their P2P system through PeerCash, and GridNetworks is building an system called PeerReward."

    The difference is that slashdot has professional paid editors who put in the time and effort to correct grammar and spelling mistakes, and edit the story for clarity and accuracy. In addition, they studiously check that the story has been already posted so dupes are removed.
