The music industry has been telling us for years that peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing is a bad thing. But a New York company has decided the record labels had it wrong and that it merely needed to harness P2P's power.

Most speakers don't come in heavy wooden crates&mdash;they come in cardboard cartons, two per box, light enough to be tucked under one arm and carried out to the car.
