[p2p-research] FINAL version of FC paper on p2p subjectivity

[Phoebe Moore]

Hi Michel

Thanks for flagging this up. The article will be published in the journal
Fibreculture http://fibreculturejournal.org/ in a special issue to be called
'Media Ecologies', edited by Jussi Parikka and Michael Goddard.

Watch this space, as the exact bib references won't exist until I do some
final changes to the paper and then submit it finally for the special
issue.

Thanks again and hope you enjoy the finished product in due course!

Phoebe
