Please add Gnutella, BitTorrent, and Skype to section 2.  I
noticed BitTorrent isn't mentioned in the document at all.
You might also mention Octoshape's don't-look-under-the-covers P2P video
streaming application,

end of Section 5.3,
     traditional SIP, which relays on a rendezvous server infrastructure.

Section 6,
   we have discussed a number of
   perfectly legitimate applications that have been implemented using
   P2P.

I would drop "perfectly" from that sentence.  (Same phrase is in Section 1).
(Are there imperfectly legitimate applications?)


To your list of legitimate uses of p2p technology in Section 6, you might also
consider adding the "unofficial release" by Nine Inch Nails of 400Gb of
time-synchronized multiple-camera HD video footage from three concerts using
BitTorrent, http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?52,378166.  The trackers are on
nin.com's own website.
