"edge-hackers"
I hack the edge dude, the edge of the internet.
new flash...
November 9th, 2006, Today the internet experienced major disruptions as it was attacked by a rogue group of "edge hackers." Homeland Security considers these types of hackers to be part of a larger insurgent group who do things to piss people off.
"These dudes create these major peer to peer networks and totally disrupt the net," said Roger Hamilton, an internet web surfer who likes to remain stoned. "Its like totally harsh on my youTube. You know lonelygirl15 is the best."
...blah blah blah...
edge-hackers..."I was there when the group formed and came out of the shadows to fight tryanny."

I don't think we should define p2p, as it is mainly used as a
political tool against us (i.e., "p2p enables piracy", "p2p developers
are inducers", etc.). The Internet by definition enables "peer to
peer" communication, whether that communication involves a centralized
server or not. The fact that the edges of the network have recently
been strutting their stuff in software applications is mainly a
consequence of how Internet connectivity was rolled out (dial-up, now
broadband with fast downstream but limited upstream). Perhaps we
should rename this list 'edge-hackers'? :)
Thanks!
