Ding ding ding! Cohen's role in bittorrent is pretty much irrelevant at this point. He created the protocol, and now his job is done. The protocol is out there and is being used by others to create their own bittorrent clients. Azereus, BitTornado, BitComet, uTorrent are all so vastly superior to the "official" bittorrent client that no matter what Cohen does to change it, the current state of P2P via bittorrent will not change one iota.
