could be harb. another mystery of ft. i've always felt that distributed peer-to-peers like ft would have their pants beat off by server based ones like napster. so if anyone comes out with a killer paid p2p app it'd be them. the fact that they haven't says to me the business relationships are a lot more complicated than we can imagine.
i figure the record companies are putting together a consortium that does it all, (and keep$ it all inhouse) including internet retailing (why share with the stores?) file sharing
and streaming etc. they want to own it all and they won't stop unless they're forced to stop. right now there's only one guy in congress who even cares about too much record label power and that's
rick boucher (help the guy out!
). to me the real the question is - is he enough?
- js.
