It's a good suggestion, but given there will be only two positions... all the sending/receiving would be done between two computers so the p2p magic would be reduced to a kind of dropbox... and this solution is already in the server the company has.
Thank you!

Too much suing.

I'm split on this one. I mostly agree with you. But, there is a reasonable expectation that parts of the plane won't fall apart in flight and injure you. For Pete's sake, the thing could have come loose during take-off or landing and smacked someone in the head...
After reading the article however... When the parent says 'The entertainment unit kept falling down, and to entertain a two-year-old you have to try to keep that TV up' then clearly the parents are to blame as well. Falls once? Maybe it wasn't fastened in securely... Put it back up, carry on. Second time it falls? Seriously, don't risk your kid's safety. Switch seats, notify an attendant... Anything except put it back up and act like everything's going to be alright.
The airline is negligent in this case, sure, but $200k for a situation the parents could have easily avoided? That's just ridiculous. Pay for any hospital fees and post-op care and call it even. Parents need to learn their lesson on this one.

good point of view.
I fly a lot and I have seen some things where I thought... what a moron / idiot / dumb / whatever adjective you want to add to the list.
In one flight, there was a situation... the end could be seen in advanced, when it eventually happened and the guy started shouting to the stewardess... I (and three other people) could not stay quiet: She is not responsible for your idiocy, so STFU and let her do her job / leave her alone.
The moron still complained a bit more and then closed his mouth. If company was sued or not... I don't know.
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Having used Google to endrun around the paywall to the original article my opinion on this 180ed. The Daily Fail's clickbait implied the kid lost at big chunk if not all of his finger. The original article showed an unbandaged picture of the kids finger. From that, despite the families claim, it doesn't appear that he actually lost anything permanently at all. The cut went through his nail and doctors were forced to remove the half of it closest to the finger tip, but the finger tip ahead of where the nail was severed appears the normal size. Having had an ingrown nail removed once I know the kid isn't going to have an enjoyable month or two while it grows back; but there's nothing to indicate that there's any sort of real permanent injury.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I can't stop imagining a three boobed turtle. Eugh. 
On a second thought: is the turtle male or female?

It's vaguely disturbing that you sailed past the notions of single-mammaried and dual-mammaried turtles without regard, and went straight for the triple.

It's just that "turtle recall" made me think of that awful movie with Ahnold Schwarzenegger and the absurd scene of the 3 breasted martian woman.

That was tortuous tortoise tomfoolery.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
