Great talk, really the best thing I heard all weekend. The audio from your talk came out really well. We'll will release it on the Web 2.0 Show podcast soon. Hey Ian.

There are a bunch I missed which I'd like to read, and others I'd like to repeatedly refer to :) eh Ian, i was wondering if you guys could send out an email to the campers to ask them to link to their presentations on the Grid.

In the new world, where costs of media production and distribution are incredibly low, DRM isn't necessary, because it just won't be worth anybody's time to pirate media. You've seen Travis's redswoosh.net presentation. That's the future right there. Usable ways to tap into massive amounts of distributed bandwidth.<br /> <br /> In the new world, Record Labels shouldn't *own* rights to any music. Artists should own all rights to music.

And that's because, in the old world, reaching audiences and distributing media to audiences was hard.<br /> <br /> It's starting to no-longer be the case.<br /> <br /> I'd much rather spend 100% of my energy trying to just eradicate needs for DRM, than to try to get big players to agree on a standard DRM.

The old world has this situation in reverse. And that’s because, in the old world, reaching audiences and distributing media to audiences was hard.

It’s starting to no-longer be the case.

I’d much rather spend 100% of my energy trying to just eradicate needs for DRM, than to try to get big players to agree on a standard DRM.
