The name Ares conjures up a number of different things to different people, and its meaning is sensitive to the context into which it is introduced.
First up, and perhaps the most influential of the three meanings is of Ares the Greek War God; a truly nasty, vindictive and violent man. He stands alone among the other gods of was as being the one dedicated to savage warfare, bloodlust and slaughter. He was the epitome of brawn over brains.
NASA decided that naming their rockets after this particularly nasty deity was a grand idea and the Ares V rocket – planned for release in the 2019 – complements Ares I which is being designed as a crew launch vehicle.
Last, but certainly not least, is the Ares the P2P filesharing software. This is probably the most omniscient of all the definitions and certainly the one most likely to be recognized by younger readers.

If you’re in independent musician the irony is that the p2p networks actually help you to share your music. You just have to make it easy for them to find you when they like your music thats all.
For the majors these little bits of software are a curse but for us they are great!
Power to the people! But I still think that people should support indie music if they like what they hear.
For example my indie record label specializes in relaxation,yoga and soundtrack music which fortunately is a more specific market than just straight rock or whatever.
Peace!
