What about services that run on a P2P cloud? No fees, no ads, no tracking?

There is tracking on most p2p networks, and there aren’t really any p2p networks where the service is free, as in free beer.

I mean, the whole concept of the most widespread p2p networks is piracy, or the act of paying for bandwidth and electricity to save money on the movies that you steal.
