Motivation
Or a chest of gold for those who can master it?
There seem to be two dominant views about peer-to-peer technology
Is it the open sea for the pirates?

Motivation
Both are wrong
Peer-to-Peer technology is an ALTERNATIVE, which is and will be used when feasible

Conclusion
P2P is becoming mainstream and being incorporated into an increasing number of applications
P2P has to consider all members of the value chain to be successful
P2P offers great opportunities of increased efficiency, development and can reduce barrier to entry
Peer-to-Peer technology is an ALTERNATIVE, which is and will be used when feasible
