P2P is quite nice for distributed content delivery. I myself dedicate about 300 kbps during the day and about 900 kbps during the night of my bandwidth to distribute content that YouTube, etc has seen fit to ban.
Storage is cheap and getting cheaper.. 2 TB harddrives for as little at $55. And even with ISPs instituting minuscule monthly bandwidth usage allowances I rarely use more than 60% of the allowance each month.
I you really and truly believe that Facebook gives a BLEEP about privacy then I have this really old iron bridge to sell you.
Hint: Selling information about the users of Facebook is how they pay their bills and Zuck sucks in lots of money. So.. collect more data, more data to sell, more money is made by Facebook and Zuck.

I see this as an example of where the California legislature failed to make the language quite clear about what they meant. So they meant retroactive...A sentence so stating would of ended all dispute. Didn't we just see an article here about a half-baked price of legislation from California about privacy?
This here openrecords law sounds like it was half-baked as well.
Two quite overt(not secret) events that thumbed their noses to exiting authority /law come to mind.
1. Martin Luther vs the quite powerful, at the time, Catholic Church and it;s Pope.
2. The 1776 American Revolution. They really - overtly - told the English King where to stick it, even drew him a map, and broke quite a few English laws in the process.
You might want to aquaint yourself with the Underground Railroad.. Back in the day when slavery was legal, aiding a slave to flee was a crime, there was such a thing called the Underground Railroad. Anyone who aided a fleeing slave was a criminal, yet what they did was probably the most noble and humane thing a person could do. Your sort of 'criminals' I'm sure. What it more -- they knew damn well beforehand that what they were doing was considered a crime but did it anyway.
If a said ISP can actually tell that there is password sharing going on then there is a BIG security problem with the authentication and logon process that Netflix uses. This should all be done in such a way that ISP can't tell what account ID's and passwords are being used. Only Netflix should/would know who is logged in and from which IP addresses.
This just illustrates the folly of using bio-metrics to try and replace passwords. Yes, use bio-data for identification, and then use passwords for access. Of course you should use good, not guessable (or brute forceable), passwords.
