As I think about the issues associated with the new gig, I'm finding some impassioned writing about the media and digital rights. Here's a very cogent essay and book review by Richard Koman www.openp2p.com/pub/a/p2p/2001/12/21/lessig.html, discussing Lawrence Lessig's 2001 book The Future of Ideas. 9:54:25 AM

Looks like I'll be doing an interesting job soon, helping design a next generation content on demand system. Lots of interesting technical and business issues to deal with, including DRM and the media companies' pathological hatred of p2p architectures. Lots of p2p references possible, but I like this one www.openp2p.com/ . There is so much possible with the convergence of broadband access and cheap digital home gear, this should be an interesting exercise. 8:54:51 AM
