I still don't get it. What happens when mojonation.net no longer exists? How does one connect to other users without using the mojonation.net site? For example, mojonation is sued and ordered to take mojonation.net offline. As far as I can tell, the system depends on the existence of the mojonation.net domain name.
I don't see how they intend to avoid being shutdown by the RIAA. It claims to be a peer-to-peer system, but you need to go to their web page to find stuff or places to go.

I can understand the Japanese version, for the reasons you give, but why german and french next? Again I'm left with the marketing angle.
At our Internet cafe here in Guatemala we need the browser to be in Spanish, as we get a lot of locals using the system, as well as people from other parts of the world who are here to learn spanish. Of the foreigners, it's the Japanese who also want to type in their native language, europeans don't often ask for the ability to type in german or french, though that's much easier to setup.

Considering that a lot more people in the world speak spanish then german, french, or japanese, this seems a weird choice in languages. Or perhaps Netscape incorporated is only looking at where the advertising dollars come from.

Some have posted that you should be working on changing the laws. While that's fine, if you operate a business in a country with draconian laws, you might be better off moving your business elsewhere.
If you check out the releng module in Gnome CVS you'll see a list of packages that will be
included in Gnome 1.4. At the bottom of the list you'll notice that mc will not be included in the core release of Gnome. That's because
Nautilus is replacing it.
Yes, I see that mc is "likely to be moved to extra apps." I don't see that Nautilus is on the list. But whether or not Nautilus will be the default file manager in gnome 1.4, and I am trusting that it will be, doesn't answer the question.
"Will Nautilus become the default file manager in the next release of Helix GNOME?"
Just the fact that this question was asked in the Linux Orbit interview shows that not everyone assumes that Helix will ship Nautilus. Because Nautilus has features that make Helix Code's Red Carpet redundant, and Helix Code needs people to use Red Carpet in order for their business plan to pan out. What user is going to use Red Carpet for package managment when the same functionality is built into their file manager?
I don't think that Helix Code is bound to use any one of the hundreds of programs available at gnome.org. When I look at the the Gnome.org Get more software I see a lot of things that Helix does not distribute. Helix is a distribution of Gnome, as such, they are free to choose which file manager to ship. If Nautilus competes with Helix Code's own package management system, which is tied to Helix Code's business model, why wouldn't they leave it out, and include another file manager in their distribution of Gnome?
Looking through the gnome.org site raises a question for me. Where is the info on gnome 1.4? Maybe I didn't look hard enough, but all I found was a 6 month old reference to it shipping sometime in late 2000. I guess there is more current info on various mailing lists, but as I am not a programmer, I haven't subscribed to those. Can you point me to some links where Helix says that they will use Nautilus? I think I've seen various press releases by Eazel saying that Nautilus will be tied into Gnome core but I can't find that info on the Gnome site, or the Helix Code site.
Besides, there is still the way that Miguel beat around the bush responding to the question in the interview about Helix Code using Nautilus. He doesn't answer the direct question. "Will Nautilus become the default file manager in the next release of Helix GNOME?" All that question needs is a simple yes or no.
"Linux Orbit: Could you explain the relationship between Helix Code Inc and Eazel? Will Nautilus (the Eazel file manager) become the default file manager in the next release of Helix GNOME?
Miguel de Icaza: Both companies work on GNOME. Eazel works on the Nautilus file manager, and the GNOME VFS. Helix works on delivering services based on Evolution and GNOME in general (through our Desktop Improvements team and our Helix Technology Labs team)."
I guess Helix could ship with only the parts of Nautilus that don't duplicate what Helix is doing with Red Carpet, as all the code is GPL and Helix can distribute their own version of Nautilus. But all this is speculation on my part. I've just read what I found at the repective orgs and coms web sites. And what I read is that Eazel and Helix Code both have similiar business models. They want to sell package managment services; Helix Code through Red Carpet, Eazel through Nautilus.
