P2P Manifesto
Check this P2P Manifesto from Marco Montemagno, an Italian new media expert. I think he captures very well the current development trends and his projection of the near future is close to my own projection. Here are some quotes:

saw this article on Slashdot....the author Marco has a touch of that starry-eyed, open-source, information-wants-to-be-free thing going and they roasted him for it, as well for his methodology, writing ability, conclusions, and anything else they could think of. but Slashdot is kind of a tough crowd anyway, no?
some good stuff in it, nonetheless somebody on /. referenced this MS-backed study of p2p and darknet technologies in the same thread - it's an interesting read and you gotta love the conclusion: Quote:

you’d think after five years of “out-of-control” file-sharing (they should watch somebody who’s good at it like me. i’m very in-control lol) people might realize the so-called “intellectual property” world hasn’t come to end, far from it. you can still profitably sell books and dvds and software, people still watch commercials on tv (ask somebody if they’ve seen a good one lately) and artists still collect royalties on compositions, which was called the “biggest threat” created by p2p “sure, musicians might get paid for performing even if they can’t sell records, but how are the poor songwriters going to survive?” since you've asked, very well thanks. bmi, the songwriters’ big collection society saw revenues rise 9 percent. slashdot is fine as far as it goes, and i’ve seen wonderful things there i probably wouldn’t have caught otherwise, but there does seem to be a misanthropic contingent waiting to pounce on anything even remotely p2p-positive, regardless of the facts or the benefits. their peculiar form of moderation-by-mob may or may not encourage trolling and sloppiness, but it wouldn’t hurt if the anti-swapping contingent buttressed their rants with some actual facts, and moved the hysterics out of the realms of fantasy into something approaching empirical intellectual discourse. - js. |
