Isn't that the definition of what's happenig today with Gnutella, Vinnie and GDF?
Indeed, what you describe comes close to my motivation to stop with Gnutella: it's still far behind technology, selfish commercialization make it even more unattractive. I like this thread, because I see some others care about a fair Gnutella. Just a few ppl yet... but the shine of a little light is better than to swear about darkness.
