Exactly the Ssme restrrictions as Movielink seeing Movielink is owned by the MPAA members of which NBC\Universal is a member and you dont get a credit for uploading when you rent off Movielink with peer Impact you do.
Mashboxx and the New Grokster 3G that will be launched later this year has the serious backing of Sony\BMG and the Sony Music CEO Andrew Lack was intrememtal putting the project together with the Mashboxx chairman Wayne Russo who was the former president of Grokster.
The whole Sony rootkit contreversey will seriously damage the reputation of this p2p service that already faces a uphill battle to convert the already sceptical filesharing community.
Many in the tech community have vowed to boycott Sony products and many just dont trust them anymore so Mashboxx will be put into the same boat.
Peer Impact does sell indies that are in MP3 format on the most part and has deals with The Orchard,Koch and IDOA who are some of the biggest independant distributors and are also developing a consumer ingestion platform so a content creator will be able to sell content on the network them selves with thier own buussiness rules,format and licencing including Creative Commons .
Peer Impact is a walled garden p2p network that only distributes authorised content across its network it is taking the opisite route to Limewire and has aquired licences from the record labels that allow its users to re-disribute content they purchase through the network and user recive a system credit for thier upload bandwith .
Most comercial p2p companies and thier investors are looking to monetise thier product without lawsuits or revenue from adware and spyware It looks like Peer impact has beat them to the punch and has a compelling bussiness model based on superdistribution .
I live in Rural Vermont and even though I live near the popular Stratton Mountain Ski resort I cant get Verizon DSL and its well known in the area that its because of Vermonts low population density.So I reaserched my options when switching over to cable and VOIP to convince the Mrs it was worth swiching .
I changed to Adelphia cable and thier cheapest plan is $29.00 per month unbundled plan @ 256kbps up and down and you can get Vonage for $14.95 per month.So what I was paying for unlimited local phone service in the area costs the same as the $45 minimum phone bill.On top of that you still have to pay dial up acess $15 so $60 for dial up and telephone or $45 for VOIP and Cable thats a

Peer Impact is already doing what Mashboxx proposes to do and credits its users for upstream babdwith with a system credit they call Peercash.They have all 4 major record lavbels signed and all of the big independant distributors on baord they also sell protected content from the major labels and unencubered MP3s from the indies in a walled garden p2p network.Soon they will have games and they hope to have movies by the end of this year .
Wayne Russo has been promising a beta release of Mashbox for several months but Pablo Sato from Optisoft(Blubster) pulled out of the deal with Sony so it sent Wayne scrambleing and only now he has a development team in Grokster.Wayne has also badmouthed Peer Impact several times in the media when his own product is essentialy vaporware with one label signed who is Sony who will sell thier digital content to anyone who wants to play in the pay to peer pool.
Bram may be getting cosy with Hollywwod but LX Systems http://www.lxsystems.com/ has already beaten him with ther Peer Impact p2p client http://www.peerimpact.com/ that has all the music labels signed up inluding the major indies and the big 4 of Sony\BMG,Warner Music,EMI and Universal Music.They are also adding games and in negotiations with the Studios to have video content on the network .
Also you can read any brewing journal or research paper to find the latest inovation in modern brewing.Beer In a major brewery is usualy the same product for all the product usually with 2 wort sreams and only downstream processing is what makes the beers different with the addition of hop extracts and flavors (hop oils).Nothing new.
Craft brewing and Homebrewing isnt rocket science and all recipies are essentialy the same with the simmilar processes.Ive written recipies that are based on percentages so they can scale form the pilot brewery to the brewhouse.These guys have a recipie that is nothing spectacular, people have been brewing for thousnds of years all pretty much in a open source way .
A band that streatches the copyright debate even further is the Kelptones fronhttp://www.kleptones.com/from the UK all thier albums are free and avaible via Bittorent.
They have a ground breaking album that mashes up Queeen and Hip Hop classics called Night at the Hip Hopera
The same people are sitting in thier paresnts basmemts with thier tin foil hats on making sure the music they listen on Lunchcast doesnt let the DRM infect thier brain.
Im a beta tester of peer Impact and pretty clued up on how it works.
If you have obsucre content you get more credit if its just you and the server and someone downloads that content you get 4c.
If people are downloading popular content theres more sources therefore you provide less upload so you recive less Peercash. the algorithm has really been worked out to make a fair and equitable situaation for all content on the network.
Beer sales controlled by one entity like Distributors is a restriction of trade and hurts the small wine producer and microbrewer but of course they pay big money to the politicans.
You need a state representive that is a home-brewwer,wine enthusiat or drunkard to sponsor a bill that allows small bussineses to sell direct to the consumer even if it over the internet.
All online retailers have the responsibility to make sure the recipient of the alcohol is over the age of 21 in the US or 18 in Australia, this should be verified by the courier before he drops the the goods off.
Online liquor retailers could loose thier licence to sell alchohol if they dont do this.
Maybe your state needs to consider a Parenting Licence.
This is great news for me seeing that was partly involved in the setting up of a online beer company whos main sales outlet is the internet and who have a Custom Label web app so you can create your own labels to put on the bottles.
The company is called Brewtopia and the beer is called Blowfly based in Sydney, Australia and they offer shares for signing up as member on the website and for refering friends.They also give you a share in the company for ordering the beer online and ship it via courier to your house only if you live in Australia of course.
Recently they annouced they are preparing a IPO to list on the Australian Stock Exchange.

I used to work for Chuck Hahn in Australia at his Maltshovel Brewery and he used to say "Inovation in Brewing is copying quickly "

There is also a open source beer company in Australia called Brewtopia and their "Blowfly Beer" has been developed useing open source marketing
I was involved with this company as a consultant when they where researching the bussiness.

This is Slashdot where Google can do no evil.
If the winemakers have a law passed in thier favor the microbrewers and somtimes the major brewers usualy lobby to have simmilar laws passed for beer .
.Spirts are usualy more highly regulated .
Most liquor laws are written to encompass both beer and wine under the same cluase
You have never seen homebrewers online they are the geeks of beer .Im a profesional brewer so that must make me a uber beer geek.

Now I live in the US Blowfly Beer has been unavailble in the US partly due to the law of commerce across state lines
Great News for small wineries and microbrewers in the US and maybe even Australia .
