Free and open P2P apps will ALWAYS be around despite scum like Russo’s best efforts. In my opinion (and I used to be involved in the industry at a high level), he was out trying to buy up real P2P companies in 2005 in cooperation with the RIAA, who’s intention was, in my opinion, to then sue the former P2P operators for the proceeds of the sale. A pretty sleazy character in my opinion. I would certainly never do business with these assholes.

FREE and OPEN P2P software and networks will never die and will always be superior to any corporate crap they try force-feeding to the masses.

This is one of the reasons the cartels are losing their grip. They’ve lost touch with what the customer wants. They want cheaper prices, better material, and the ability to use the product they spent their money on the way they see fit.

Since the cartels aren’t supplying that and are in effect punishing those that do as they wish and buy the goods, they are losing at both ends. These corporations are looking for the quick and fast buck. That means making all the music sound similar so that there is a greater percentage of hits out of what is sent out on the market. Attempting to control the market has left them with far less interest by the customer that feels he’s getting the shaft in buying. (and he’s right) There is no new stuff to browse through in any meaningful amounts and what is there is almost like it’s out of a cookie cutter; all the same.

Add it all together and folks are starting to see better value in games that have replay value rather than music that is ho-hum at best.

This does bring the question up of if Jon has considered that in the near future there won’t be much in the line of P2P advertising as the cartels have made it a world war to get rid of the competition. They’ll do that through assimilation. Break the bank of the victim and buy them for pennies on the dollar. They’ve played that scenario over and over. At some point new advertising dollars are going to have to come in.

“SpiralFrog has a different proposition: The music is free, but comes with some important restrictions. The files can’t be transferred from a computer to a CD, and they’ll be wrapped in locked version of Microsoft’s Windows Media Audio, which means they won’t play on Apple’s dominant iPod players. And consumers who download tracks from SpiralFrog will have to log on to the site at least once a month to ensure that their downloaded tracks remain playable.”

Piracy, the better choice ™. No DRM nightmare of incompatibility and no artificial restrictions.
