[lug] peer-to-peer

I guess this is somewhat off topic, but I've been dying to ask for a 
while.  Now an article on slashdot has prompted me to post.  Back when 
P2P was first discussed (or at least when I was first aware) I remember 
reading many dire warnings from police, copyright people, etc. about how 
outlaw computer users would soon be able to hide in complete anonymity 
downloading kiddie porn, software, etc.  It has been ages since I have 
read articles about anonymous computing/downloading and I'm wondering 
what happened.  At the time I think it was gnutella that was feared by 
so many.
