That would be P2P hardware.
Additionally until IBM can figure out to teleport more than a few bosons at a time you won't have the instant global access to that station wagon. And then each tape would still only be accessible by one user at a time.

Windows is a 32 bit extension to a 16-bit graphical shell for an 8-bit operating system originally for a 4-bit microprocessor by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition

How's that for "P2P" software?

Nonsense. Anything streamed off the tape can be buffered and re-distributed to multiple destinations.
I think you may be confusing quantity from character here. A copy is a copy.
I know a man who makes a living pirating video at sub-VHS quality. Some of his stuff is as crude as placing a home videocamera in front of an old TV, yet it sells.
What he engages in is piracy, and is criminal. I don't argue that.
I do argue that downloading Knoppix via bittorrent is not criminal.
