Sounds like a good mix between P2P and the 'social networks' services like sixdegrees.com or friendster.com
These friends-of-friends portals are mostly used for dating and matchmaking but a trust network for sharing files sounds like one useful application of the model.
Admittedly you could adapt existing services like a blog or a Yahoo group with some common directory but it sounds that organising the web through social networks has more potential.
Seems like the web is getting less ubiquitous after all. Is it going to inherit all the social ills with it? (seggregation, racism, social classes?)
