... by copying your files to Google?! This isn't cool.

This comment sums up my sentiments well...

I'd sorta like to see a sorta p2p search where you can opt in computers you trust and only send those computers your index or pieces of your index. Of course, you'd be hard pressed to limit what your "friends" do with your index and files. It'd be like 6-degrees, but worse and at that point you may as well give your files to Google. In the end, I can't find a use for this feature I could trust, except...

Speaking of p2p... If I have movies and my friends want them, can I just add them all to my "group". Then it's my bandwidth to send the files to Google, and then Google's bandwidth that serves them movies? It's p2g2p!
