Re: Senator Diane Feinstein Wants to know about the Benefits of P2P

[Jeff Wheeler <jwheeler () usip org>]

You know, I'm not even sure why it is necessary for us to argue the 
case for P2P - I see it's primary beneficiary as content providers (the 
people that make the ISOs, movie trailers, etc... that take advantage 
of technologies like BitTorrent) - why haven't any of these people 
stepped up to lobby P2P's benefits?  (or if they have, maybe someone 
can point Henry at these lobbyists?)
