Everywhere you turn these days in the digital world you’ll run into touts about sharing. Share files. Share photos. Share video. That’s fine, but someone forgot to tell the e-mail providers about this sharing craze. They’re still putting limits on attachments to e-mail messages that put a grave crimp in any serious sharing to be done over the Net. Sure, there are Web sites where you can share media files, but they have a community orientation. That means, for most of them, sharing media with strangers.
This sounds like a solution, but I believe it will soon go the way of Napster. Sooner or later the music and movie industry will figure out a way track the bootleg music and movie files that WILL be illegally distributed over Pando, just like they have done with the other P2Ps. Since Pando will keep a copy of the FILE on its server, I believe it will see ramifications from the Digital Millenium Copyright Act.
