They are more often beneficial to everyone involved in sharing, because it normally affords the opportunity to move a much larger volume of files in a shorter time. If only 3 or 4 people join in a 'private network' and what they share is subsequently shared in general, than the 'speed of distribution' of those files to the network at large is increased. I am doing this sort of thing all of the time and it really moves the files out to the maximum people in the quickest time!
