I thought the whole idea of p2p was sharing... But you have a good point about natural resources. Still... Nothing to stop people using recycled paper, eh? The other issue here is the digital divide. PocketPacketing effectively crosses that divide, and brings a little piece of free culture to the streets, and to people that might not otherwise have come across it. The message is simple: not everything free is worthless. That's still a novel idea to some people, so inundated are we with marketing-focused content-lite garbage. If we want to do p2p culture any favours we're going to need to convince the people who are likely to vote against pro-p2p measures, which makes it a lot easier for the DRM crew to do their bidding. There's nothing to be gained from preaching to the converted. Sorry you don’t approve. I thought the whole idea of p2p was sharing…
