Have you actually read anything from GGF? That's not even remotely what's planed for the site.

It's basically going to be paying users for their bandwidth, but only by tracking LEGAL downloads.

And what's so imposing about private trackers? They can be shut down just like public ones. And decentralization just turns it into limewire all over again. Centralization is what makes torrents effective.
