Many others have proposed media levies (most prominently William Fisher in his book 'Promises to Keep') but I always felt that the idea mooted by Lionel Sobel in "DRM as an Enabler of Business Models: ISPs as Digital Retailers" (Berkeley Tech Law Journal, volume 18:2) was likely to take hold sooner.

They will also only allow sharing between other subscribers - a walled garden.<BR/>http://geeklawyer.org/blog/?p=26geeklawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13880163460593977198noreply@blogger.com
