vyoma's most recent article here. I correctly identified it as ATOB, aka A Thing Of Beauty. What you'll read is good enough to pay for.
Pay for, pay for... Could we create a new electronic currency that was somehow tied to content on the web? For example, when you upload content to the network you get credited, and when you download it, you get debited? Participants could agree to have their content subjected to a rating and weighting system (designed by a statistician) that would assign appropriate values to different types and amounts of content. Participants in the system could then "purchase" services or information via the web from the "content credits" that they had previously earned through other means.
Okay, now don't tell me what's wrong with this idea. Tell me what could work about it. Would you use it? How would you address copyright?
