Text and a bunch of videos recorded in Rome. "Peer to peer is much broader than file sharing: what it is really about is how computers are organized, but crucially how the people are organized. So peer-to-peer is a relation, dynamic distributed network. It's a network whereby every individual has a freedom to act and a freedom to engage in relationships without asking permission. So these are really the keys: permissionless networks."
