Thanks once again

I like the fact that Napsterites is relatively free of duplicate news items, unlike some other sites.
And considering how slack
TG is being (more of those acid flashbacks ?
), I'd just like to draw everyone's attention to the article on identities :
Quote:
DIGITAL IDENTITY is a catch-all phrase at the heart of debates about DRM (digital rights management), individual privacy rights protections, and the development of security models.
But for Phil Wiser, CTO of New York-based Sony Music Entertainment, digital identity is an evolving concept, promising new ways to authenticate trusted users online and bring them together in communities under a viable business model.
Wiser says corporate technology leaders need to embrace sophisticated technologies such as peer-to-peer file sharing and authentication and SSO (single sign-on) models to meet the increasing demand for better and faster data and content delivery.
"Having a digital identity you can trust will provide you with flexibility [in participating in or developing] business models," Wiser says. "This identity will come."
The Liberty Alliance -- a group of major corporations, including American Express, United Airlines, and Wells Fargo -- is taking the first steps toward securing communities of users by developing industry standards for a universal online identity system, Wiser says.

Think of that story in terms of a community p2p app, no record companies allowed.
