Our recent discussion of TAG future directions... http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2005/06/14-16-minutes.html#item09 included discussion of integrating P2P distribution protocols with the web; e.g. for the case where somebody puts a home movie on the web, it becomes wildly popular (because media flash-fires happen), and the load on the origin server is spread around bittorrent-style. Sandro pointed out in internal discussion that the recent decision in the grokster case... MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MGM_Studios%2C_Inc._v._Grokster%2C_Ltd. http://www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/04pdf/04-480.pdf motivates the P2P to find legitimate application or endorsement of their technology. There may be a real opportunity for W3C here. If there are three or more interested W3C members, I can help them get a little group started (as open as they like) to noodle on this some more. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
