Let me see if I've got this straight. It took one guy to write the BitTorrent protocol in the first place, but it takes 19 people (previously even more) to fail at turning it into a business? As soon as you have titles like "Chief Scientist" I think you're pretty much destined for failure.

Trying to make money off of P2P and failing is so amazingly ironic. Karma's a bitch.

I'd hate to sound like a digg-comment, but nice delivery there. It drew a nice lol from me. ;)

Clearly failure is scalable.
