This is the reason why we need a decentralized p2p solution to share files which is: 0) easy to use 1) robust to file pollution 2) give incentive to people to upload instead of them being leechers 3) protects the anonymity of its users

Many protocols/networks ( ed2k, kazaa, bittorrent, gnutella, freenet ) satisfy some of these requirements but not all of them. I believe with all these BT sites getting shut down and banned, its a ripe time for another disruptive technology in the area of p2p file distribution to take hold.
