Son of Napster

Tech pundit/gadfly Robert Cringely has come up with a pretty damn good idea for creating a RIAA-crushing music file-sharing system. Instead of concentrating on technical issues, he has tackled the problem using existing legal structures for corporations. There's probably more than a few problems with his idea, especially the legality of applying divided interests in a mutual fund-like vehicle without limits to the benefit tied to that divided interest, but it's an interesting read nonetheless. http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20030724.html steve "When you come to the fork in the road, take it" - L.P.
