Conclusion

Like most other technologies, Gnutella has the potential for abuse, especially in the domain of file sharing.  Ideally, users should be respectful of other people's intellectual property rights. 

The music and movie industry may want to consider how they can tap into Gnutella as well to revolutionize how they distribute and market music and movies (if they are not already doing so).  Alternatively, artists may directly distribute and market their own work via Gnutella.

Gnutella’s uses and potential go beyond file sharing.  As discussed in this website, Gnutella has the potential and the capability to completely revolutionize the way we currently interact with Internet content and applications.
