An excellent point, Jack. The old school business people have hardly started to grasp the idea of digital luxury - but people have not missed it. They have been actively participating in mass scale p2p experiments since Napster, and in every case the lesson has been clear: a million people freely connected to each other with existing technology can form a wonderful worldwide content source and distribution channel. This in conditions where the technology and the communities have been bullied and harassed - where would we already be if p2p had been publicly embraced and supported instead? This is what the 'big boys and girls' from the old school should start asking themselves - because that's where we are heading anyway…
