I think you don't have to worry, as long as your channel primary purpose is not trading files.
But that is what we do most of the time, trade text files.
That's what the web sites are for, right?
So by your reasoning, we shouldnt have no more help channels either, as most help channels have websites right?
Hell might as well kill IRC all together if we go by your post. There are websites with java chat clients that dont use IRC, so no more need for IRC right?
