Track III: Music 2.0 – Video Download
Next Generation P2P – Music, TV and Film
While the debate over legal issues in music and movie distribution of content continues, the P2P and distributed computing industry is making strides in taking its technologies into the mainstream. With many evolving solutions on the way from paid-for-pass-along along with various DRM solutions and advertiser based options – and now an active trade association for P2P exists to enhance the solutions in the marketplace – we are pleased to hold a standalone solution session on the topic. In this session we will attempt to go beyond the legal issues into the practical applications of P2P in the marketplace. P2P advocates make claim to a major share of the market that will play a central force in the future of the music and film industries. In this session, we will hear the case for P2P – understanding it strengths and weaknesses.
