I have agree with this completely! I read through this article and couldn't stop saying, "These guys aren't geeks or nerds!". Any geek or nerd with $50 million can probably attract a real beautiful woman but what about all of us average guys. Unfortunately, for us, it's not going to happen. I've seen the trend where more and more women are finding geeks of interest but you know what. Those women are geeks too! So if you want to have that totally hot woman you've always wondered about then just change your focus from the supermodel to the quiet geek of woman that you've always thought you didn't actually want. You might be surprised.
The fact of the matter is that we aren't paying for it. It is a research venture with Audible Magic to help them develop their software. That's is what universities are for, aren't they, research?!?!
The primary reason that we (oh by the way I work in the network group at UW) are participating with Audible Magic in this is to provide them with a solid testing ground for fingerprinting copyrighted content. Yes, bandwidth plays a part but that's only because we have a limit amount available to use for research. We use packet shaping provided by Packeteer and it does very well at reducing the amount of p2p traffic but with the advent of KaZaA version 2, which uses port 80, we are once again fighting a losing battle.
