Apparently something went wrong with H20, so here is my critique part:

I’m afraid I don’t fully agree with everything you’ve said in answering the H20 question.

Firstly, you say:

“All the fuss is about the file-sharing programs like KaZaA and Napster, because the record companies claim the decrease in record-sales on these programs. But they haven’t thought about the possible positive effects of P2P-networks.”

That’s only partly right. You assume they haven’t though about the positive effects, but how can you say that for sure? I think they did think about positive effects, but the problems are like you’ve said, all the fuss is about the decrease on record-sales. They just put the focus on that matter, probably knowing there are positive side effects as well, but leaving them out to remain focus on that part for economical reasons.

Secondly you say that:

 “So instead of forbidding the use of P2P-networks, we should start our own, or co-operate with the existing ones, to show the users that we are not afraid of these new structures and that we consider these to be the future of distribution.”

Who do ‘we’ need to tell ‘we’ are not afraid? I agree that the future of software distribution can be through P2P-networks, but I don’t see why ‘we’ should prove that we’re not afraid. I think it’s the other way around. I’ve ‘we’ want to use P2P-networks for distributional matters, ‘we’ should convince the software producers and distributors that they should not be afraid of using P2P-networks. It saves money in a various form of aspects. From shipping costs to productions costs, money can be saved.

My last statement will be about the following:

”In this way, we can come up with a good, bug free program, which allows people to register to our services so they can share files for free, while we promote our new products for free.”
