John Robb - "P2P systems don't need to be totally decentralized, nor will any successful system ever be.  It is neither reasonably efficient nor is it desirable from a commercial standpoint.  Total decentralization was and is only a goal due to legal issues associated with copyright infringement.  Remember, Morpheus didn't break due to technical issues associated with FastTrack's centralization, it failed due to business issues between partners.

The keys to a next generation P2P system that makes money and delights users are subnets, publishing, and service driven apps.  P2P has been mostly focused on transport protocols to date.  That needs to change."
