Re: Tuesday, January 02, 2007
Doc, It occurs to me that the original Napster was a great success because it had an aspect of VRM in it, a built in anonymous music review system, where the user owned and controlled their data (well... ownership was the disputed factor) If you downloaded a song, and kept it... you endorsed it... the cost of filtering was essentially zero, and the pressure to keep your collection within the bounds of disk space enforced some level of curatorship. A version of the Napster meme where you simply share the names of your stuff, and a pointer to where to get it legitimately... might be valuable, if it doesn't get gamed. So... that's my $0.02 for the day... --Mike--
