Actually, consumers (and maybe you, too) routinely "sell" their private information in exchange for discounts at supermarkets, entries in contests, etc. So I think the original analogy still holds.
Here's a plug for AGstreme, which I switched to after I heard about this latest round of spyware nonsense. It's a GPL AudioGalaxy client replacement, which a boatload more features. My favorite: it can read CDDB entries and then request download of one or more tracks from a given CD. Pretty darn cool:
And what an incredible debugging tool. I know that my process is producing buggy output after running for four hours. Solution: run for four hours, hibernate, copy and re-run the last five minutes as many times as you want.
amen to that. I've been wanting to suggest the same, but you beat me to it. Here's to the Professor's continue unfettered access to all manner of circumvention technology!
Thanks for the clueful posts. Are you involved in any of the various projects trying to make this a reality? Give me an email, I'd love to chat about it.
Amen. I just gave too. It's funny, I've been a user/supporter of Freenet for a while, but it took this whole "herd mentality" to actually get me to give some money. Nice to know others are doing it too.

A few weeks ago,/. ran this story about a project of mine called FreeSQL, an attempt to port SQL apps to Freenet. Freenet is the only distributed network with the capacity to do what you describe in this article. It is fully distributed, private and anonymous. People are only identified by their public keys, which is just what you want. You don't need to know other users' names, just their listening track record.
Using FreeSQL has the advantage that we can integrate it with ease into existing web-based sites, like/. and K5. In fact, this is something I proposed when the original article was posted. The reason I wrote FreeSQL in the first place was to see if something like Slash could be ported to it. Imagine a Slash-based site with compelte anonymity and no possibility for censorship. Many different sites could simply plug into the global database. Like the stories on/. but the comments by K5 users? No problem. The network is the database.
One of my big complaints about the state of OSS and the web now is that it is almost impossible to get new things integrated into the popular things like Slashdot. That's why I was so excited to read this: But allow Slashdot to tie into your system, and you instantly add hundreds of thousands of potential users.
. Right on, jamie. Let's do it. I'm ready whenever you are.
Why not distribute the pieces on Freenet? Using SSKs you can be sure that each piece was inserted by the original poster. Maybe this would make a cool client for Freenet, though...
As part of one of his recent copyright-related rants. I know because it's the story that led me to buy the book in the first place. Well worth the money, btw. Anyway, I don't have a link but check under features, not book reviews and you'll find it.
This book has really inspired and intrigued me. I have posted about it many times here on/. and I think that reading it is a necessary prerequisite to having an intelligent opinion (one way or the other) about copyright law. Please, please, please go get yourself a copy.

Nice letter. Thanks for posting it. I may send one to blizzard as well.
No, not possible. Never happen.

I mean, it's the only day you can actually get something done. Nobody to bother you, no distractions. Just you and the machine.
Plus, most employers should give you a comp day, so you can take vacation when you actually want to.
Check out these two projects:
Everything Over Freenet(EOF) http://eof.sourceforge.net/ - they have a version of apt-get running over Freenet already.
World Free Web
http://wfw.sourceforge.net/
Don't need any help from Slashdot to maket his happen. Read all about it at http://wfw.sourceforge.net/

Roy Yamaguchi rules. If you've never been to Roy's on any island in Hawaii, you haven't lived. I can't wait to see his first battle...
Excuse me, Senator, but I would prefer "Open Source/Free Software GNU/Party"
And no, I have not.
Mod this up. I just gave my $50. It's the least we can do.

When will those hackers ever learn?

That is really sad. Maybe they'd do an interview over at Kuro5hin?
