“Non-goals

In favoring simple, deployable designs, we have explicitly deferred several possible goals, either because they are solved elsewhere, or because they are not yet solved.

Not peer-to-peer: Tarzan and MorphMix aim to scale to completely decentralized peer-to-peer environments with thousands of short-lived servers, many of which may be controlled by an adversary. This approach is appealing, but still has many open problems [24,43].

It will be great when the infrastructure will be there to facilitate file sharing. Tor has the potential to be the RIAA's and MPAA's worst nightmare :-D Unfortunately, Tor isn’t able to handle large amounts of data as of yet.
