P2P Filesharing vs. The Web
The Importance of writes "The recent RIAA lawsuits have raised many questions and issues, but the focus has been on P2P filesharing. Before there was P2P, though, there was filesharing via webservers. There doesn't seem to be much complaint about the RIAA shutting down people who upload MP3s to their homepage. Why do many people seem to treat http filesharing different than P2P filesharing? LawMeme has one answer."

Packages offered through my ISP- example-prepaid slashdot membership (no fee recieved until an individual signs up). Gamespy accounts, file front etc...antivirus-gaming services. Free trials as new offers arrive. Issues like security, refunds, etc. can all be done on the ISP side of things for agreeable businesses.
Giving a 100 dollar deposit to be held by my ISP for puchases is a possibility, maybe in concert with pay pal or the like. The ISP is a nice choke point, it is going to be used someday. I'd rather have it used for something that is to my benifit. Doing so has a good probability to reveal a more stable capitalist structure that right now isn't apparent. Plus(-note, trademark), it doesn't use my ISP account as a debit account.
Win I would do an exe thing on the desktop thing, html thing, shockwave thing. Almost the portal idea. With linux users it's easier because many are a bit more savy and bells and whistles are annoying.
