I know that currently you could do things like watch bandwidth usage and/or popular file swapping software's protocol traffic, but how do you really know?  For example, if I own a music CD for which I want to download MP3s because I'm too lazy to do it myself, is that illegal? 8:00:30 AM    comment [] MSNBC: The Connected Company Groove Networks founder Ray Ozzie says there are two ways to look at company connectedness: “Most people use it only thinking of reducing costs—a negative value.” But the most advanced companies, he says, get that being connected inside and outside the organization recalibrates their field of vision and allows them to rethink what they can do—often enabling them to do what was previously unthinkable.
