Videos Quick, Easy and Automatic

I always hafta laugh when I see these articles about how some guy just figured out how to make distribution of content easier by putting together two pieces of evolving technology. In this case it’s combining peer-to-peer with RSS. The chuckle is that the music and movie industries and about every other content provider hates this and takes legal steps against it. So we continue to spawn new technologies to make creating, storing, and distributing information easier, faster, cheaper as we have for centuries (remember paper, the printing press?). But immediately someone has to cripple the technology because it disrupts established business models and ideas of property. It’s physics against economics. Put this in the class of something I believe but can’t prove: physics will prevail in the end.
