IMHO....
p2p is fine if the films / music is of a 'lesser' quality than the DVD / CD. That way people can download and 'sample' new tracks / films, but if they actually like / want the film / track, they can purchase it legitimatley and have a decent copy.
Example... If I download the latest Matrix movie and the whole film is about 300MB, it's fair to say that it is LOW quality. I can then view the film, see if it's my kind of thing and then either go to the pictures or buy the DVD when released.
Having the low quality film would only make me want to buy the film more!
Trouble is, there's too many films / tracks that are of a decent enough quality to stop people buying the legitimate DVD / CD.
As for 'banning' P2P, what a laugh! Anyone remember Napster? Remember when they said it would close and end P2P piracy overnight??
