Peer to peer can be used for many unquestionably good purposes. Ordinary computer users can now donate their left over computer resources to huge research p2p networks. Some examples of projects currently going on is cancer research, electronics research, aircraft research and experiments in artificial intelligence. Some of the projects that are being planned are distributed space research, climate research, quantum physics research and distributed self-learning AI spam filter systems and much more.
Peer to peer processing was already known before the time of p2p file sharing. But p2p file sharing was and still is the killer application that spurred a tremendous amount of research into p2p algorithms and technology. These research efforts are now beginning to result in far better p2p technology, which will benefit all those good p2p uses. So thanks to file sharing cancer research will be better! So p2p are going to be really good for the human race.
Also, p2p will be able to decrease the need for the huge server farms currently used on the Internet and costs lots of resources and energy. So p2p will be good for the environment too!
If the cost of better cancer research, HIV research, quantum physics research and so on is that some record companies will loose some (or a lot) of profits I say: Let them loose their money. Cancer research is far more important!
