Default Re: Napster, Denial and Federalism

Again, I'm not proposing what exactly this new work-around will be. Simply that the recent legislation has created a new need, and the one who finds a solution stands to profit mightily.

I draw the analogy to torrent, because how that system works was not even in the realm of possibilities for me at the time of napster.

If I knew how or what the new method will be I'd probably stand to gain a lot from it - ofc I don't have any clue. Much like I had no clue about torrent. I'm simply proposing that need and profitability drive ingenuity, and both of these ingredients are present.

This innovation may even make regulation tougher at a later date.

I in no way propose to know more about the legal issues, the technology involved, or the ability of policing off shore cashflows. I'm just suggesting that there MAY be possibilities/solutions that are outside of box in terms of our current thinking and that a new need and lot money has lit a fire underneath a lot of people to find what it might be. Just maybe, because what we have here are the ingredients that lead to innovation.
