So, what’s the big revelation here? Business reporters are finally clued in to how P2P works?
P2P is not evil, it’s a risk/benefit trade off: Surrender your computer to the network/get fee phone calls, music, video, etc…

Maybe the seeds of evil are present at inception of all businesses. But the story that we all buy into rides on rumor of purity.

Well the evilness is this P2P aspect just waiting to be exploited by hackers. Ergo, Skype has been evil for as long as they’ve been using P2P to carry data.
Of course, the article is all about the technology and has little to do with the company’s motives.
