Agreed. Saying content illegally is certainly a problem, but let's not dismiss the importance of decentralized systems. It certainly helps distributing large files without a central server and point of failure. I seed my share of Linux distros and open source softwares to help with the distribution with my own bandwidth and storage. And decentralization is s big equalizer in power, which allows the masses to share content even if there is someone in power against it.
We need decentralization and P2P protocols more than ever.
