Surely the big benefits of peer to peer is it takes control way from the
center - which will never go down well in Washington when the big
Digital Publishers are being so successful at pushing through
legislation via WIPO etc.
If they want to start back pedaling, perhaps we should switch to a star physical topology instead of mesh.. put the center of the star dead center in Washington where they can baby sit, run a petabit Carnivore system on it, and let corporations with enough money have their weight put on how things are run.

After all.. it is bad design typically to use a star topology for physical networks.. because of one huge single point of failure.. P2P is the ultimate mesh protocol to run on the global mesh network.
