Legal commercial software that uses p2p technology is coming onto the scene, just as legal commercial software that used mp3 arose. What frightens me is not government intervention, it's voluntary "segregation" of the internet by ISPs. What happens when the .coms start offering kickbacks to ISPs for greater bandwidth allotment?

While surfing Digg on a free workstation that the clinic provided,I was prevented by filters from running down a link that described the latest medical marijuana research, and the lack of harm caused by that substance. Out of morbid interest, I then tried a link to a story on cocaine prices around the world, and oddly, I had no problem recieving that information. Some thing is very fishy, here, because, as I said, one story was about legitmate research on a medical subject(denied), the other was more of a human interest story(allowed).
