Malcolm, wouldn't the concept of p2p
itself -- conceived as a right rather than a mechanism, be a classic meme?


Lots could be said about it; clearly it's controversial in the way that copyright
law, generically, isn't, given capitalism. I would think that the gap between the general acceptance of copyright law and the subcultural (or wider) rejection of the prohibition of p2p sharing represents a cultural meme. The meme lives in that gap, and won't go away.


What do you think?
