> The same people saying 'Why use P2P apps if you have nothing illegal to share' are the ones saying, 'Why need privacy if you have nothing to hide'. They're wrong, they're privileged, they're selfish, and they're often complete lying hypocrites (snd therefore dangerous and abusive people).
Is there a significant populace who vehemenlty oppose p2p?
- einpoklum 6y ago"Significant" yes, "numerous" probably not: Richer people with personal interest in upholding IP rights, or who are generally approving of the legal status quo. Although, on second thought - a lot of people who are not tech-savvy might be convinced by the mainstream media view on file sharing as involving a lot of "piracy" and theft, so maybe that demographic has more opponents of P2P.
- McDyver 6y agoThe fact that some ISPs, and even VPN providers, block p2p connections means that there is a lot of interest in doing so. Not necessarily by the "populace", but pushed by whoever feels their interests are being affected.
