Can you name an active filesharing app that's in use today? The action against Napster might not have killed filesharing, but it was p2p's Antietam.

The Bittorrent ecosystem is still very much around. I’m a cinephile who has a collection of nearly a thousand films in Blu-Ray image format, and 95% of that is off a tracker that is open even, not private.

And Soulseek is still known as the P2P source where you can find all kinds of obscure music.

There are many people sharing many files on usenet. There are few open source projects to automate the downloads.
