napster's demise gave rise to many other peer-to-peers. hurt the big tgp's - and new ones will pop up after 5 mins. russia will replace holland as trafficville. after 5.2 secs there will be 28 new affiliate programs that accept the traffic from those new tgps... as for processors - it is both unconstitutional and commercially wrong to refuse service in order to help the formation of a monopoly. but regardless - there will be 14 new processors after 2 days - who will accept and service this new system. you will never be able to shut down tgp's or refuse billing to other sites etc. too many entrepreneurs out there just waiting for the "big guys" to make that mistake - to start their own empire.
in the last 5000 years many people tried to overtake/control/rule the world. the only one who succeeded was "free market". you will never succeed to control the market by consolidating an artificial monopoly. too easy to destroy the plan. you can't force the genie back into the bottle.
but just in case i am wrong - count me in
