One of the recurring themes was a huge lack of a common API to express the rights of content owners. So even before being able to encrypt the data, it would be useful to carry with the resource (media file, text, etc.) the associated rights. This can be useful in many contexts, broader than just encrypted media, such as creativecommons document, ways of paying an artist through donations, etc. etc. Encryption seems to me as the cannon solution, before even dealing with the simpler, wider scenarios. -- Karl Dubost http://www.la-grange.net/karl/
