Wink *Only 1 day to TOTAL CONTROL!

A general message to all P2P developers out there:
I can see how a P2P developer can totally dictate and control his/her/its little world by simply making a client that only connects to his/her/its site upon boot.
That way statistics about the "horizion" can be perfected and he/she/it could completely rule over a network.
He/she/it could make changes to the protocol all he/she/it wants, disconnect people from the network at will, force people to upgrade even if they don't want to, and encrypt packets and spy on users so that he/she/it knows what everyone is doing at all times.
Censoring of any files that rag on he/she/it could also be done through encrypted "send a delete command" proprietary secret hidden packets (size varying from 175 and up). The network should be called something like "censored-forest-trash-can-raiding-creature.net".
Forums could be set up where everything is happy and calm, just like disneyland, no one ever complains, everyone is so happy. Call that the "picnic-basket-stealing-********forum" or something to that effect.
He/she/it could also get paid to report people to the RIAA and MPAA, since P2P will never be profitable except by back door pay offs since this is a bad business to try to make money in, only a fool would try to make a buck on a P2P client, we all know that, it's obvious. (see open source truly free software if you have no clue)
The EULA or privacy statement could be changed to reflect this monitoring, since only fools would run this software anyway, no one would have the brains to read it.
Do you think he/she/it should do this? I think the coding for this and a web site set up would take about a day.
Just think, 1 day to total world domination!
Any other ideas?

Note: Please do not bait flames, we don't want this to be "closed" now do we? This was not a personal attack on any one person/he/she or it, it's a general P2P idea and suggestion to any would be dictators out there thinking about making a P2P program, so don't be specific.
