Actually folks, this all seems normal to me. It's the natural evolution of information services: a service is created for a practical reason, and then someone adapts it so it can be used for porn, warez, and more recently MP3s.
Proof of my theory: BBSes, Usenet, IRC, WWW, FTP, Instant Messaging, Hotline, Napster, and Freenet. Gnutella, Scour, etc. *began* with porn, warez, and MP3s. I imagine the anticipated CDC Peekabooty with follow a similar path. Now except for the fact that there really is no linux warez community, I'd expect warez-get to already be on the way. Of course, mp3-get (or perhaps ogg-get), is still feasable... except that it would require some kind of decentralized architechture to be successful... Actually, you know, it could work...
