Why we are not winning Gnutella is worthless. Just like ultimate frisbee, the concept is an excellent one, but is controlled and dominated by people too weak-willed to weild it properly. The pervading social atmosphere in both areas is the same: the masses turn on anyone who attempts to profit from the brilliance that the group has concieved. You know why Napster was a success? Not because its programming was superior, or because it existed in an environement free from those who would squelch file-sharing endevours, but because Shawn Fanning is a greedy mother****er. I don't want gnutella to work because I want to share with the world; I want gnutella to work so I can get free ****. The future of file-sharing software is not, as its past was, in allowing hippie programmers to share little bits of code with each other in their microcommunes. The future of file sharing is in providing so much free porn, movies, music and games that the average computer user will never have to leave his room again for any reason. You hemp-smoking commies out there out there need read some Ayn Rand, sack it up, write some decent software and **** over as many people as you can in creating a superior product. The one of you pathetic worms that triumphs will have fame, fortune and power enough to alleviate any moral qualms that such a rise to power might bring on.
VIVA LA REVOLUCIÓN!!!
