Your scenario is a bit like banning Windows because people can use it to run Kazaa (or whatever other naughty P2P program). In any case, I hope that in the longer term the corporate uses of AllPeers (for workgroups and the like) will be so compelling that companies like yours will rethink their restrictive policies.

My company forbids use of ANY P2P regardless of intended use or copyright infringement, or lack thereof. Circumvention of attachment size restrictions, while not affecting email gateways, will still soak up bandwidth -- plus, it'll allow an unmonitorable avenue of dissemination of sensitive corporate materials. This saddens me somewhat, as I've come to like Firefox better than IE, and now I'll have to go back. I think that this will accomplish banning of Firefox from corporate PCs.

And I realize it's not something about P2P in general; I've had Soulseek installed for a long time now and recommend it to a lot of my friends.

P2P has nothing to do with copyright infringement, spyware, etc. The fact that those guys decided to go that route is all about them, not P2P in general.

Also, what is your business model going to be? In other words, if this is a company producing this extension, how does the company plan to make money? Any time it comes to P2P apps I get rather paranoid, having done technical support and seeing what evil a simple installation of Kazaa can produce.
