Yes? So?

Actually, I'm pretty sure bittorrent was specifically developed for 
downloading game patches.  And if you go to the more general meaning of 
"P2P" rather than "the version of P2P I mean", then no, the majority of P2P 
hasn't been about copyright infringement. IM and email are both P2P 
applications, for example. I don't think "P2P has always been about 
copyright infringement" any more than search has always been about finding 
copyrighted information.
