Not all p2p file sharing is illegal!!! (Score 1)

I think a lot of people need to be educated to the fact that not all file sharing involves copyrighted files! Of course, the Slashdot community realizes this, but everyone from ISPs to lawmakers to record labels need to realize that file sharing is used for many legitimate purposes. My company's GigaTribe (http://www.gigatribe.com) software, for example, allows people to share picture folders on their harddrive with family members on the other side of the world, thereby eliminating endless email attachments or mailing DVDs. We have users that use the application to back up dozens of gigabytes of stuff to another computer, and many of our users are professionals (teachers, photographers, webdesigners, etc...). In that sense, it's like other tools, guns and automobiles don't break laws, people do. Many tools have both legitimate and illegal usages.
