Oh my god it's the 90s peer-to-peer information super highway argument. It's back all over again, with the same complete unwaivering faith that adding the word "computers" to something means that all the existing laws are now invalid. Go read up about what happened to Napster. It's not even 20 years old... it's not ancient history...
