Submission + - Financial Accounts That Can Reproduce and Evolve

freepay writes: "For grassroots ecommerce, online accounts could REPRODUCE at their owner's command, inherit dozens or hundreds of services and settings at birth, and EVOLVE in everyday use — as each owner's changes are passed on like mutations, and the most useful accounts are most likely to reproduce. This design will help independent musicians and others make a living from their online art and information, without DRM. Instead, anyone in the world who can pay online could buy access to the art in bulk, and sponsor prepaid free downloads for social networks of their choice. The sponsor could email a URL that is a clickable, public account containing any number of prepaid downloads (and a message from the sponsor, if desired). Anyone can recharge this URL, which therefore can circulate and pay the artists indefinitely, while finding new fertile ground for their work. So pirate copies must compete against legitimate free copies that do pay the artists, which fans will usually prefer.

It seems at one point or another, Gmail allowed users to create different accounts like John.Doe@gmail.com and JohnDoe@gmail.com and these would, for all intents and purposes, be different accounts. However, the mail delivery actually ignores all periods and underscore, so both accounts from a mailing point of view is the same. I've read a couple of ar

Submission + - Democrats Propose Mandatory DRM for Podcasts

Knytefall writes: Joe Biden, Dianne Feinstein, and two GOP senators are sponsoring a bill called the PERFORM Act that would require podcasts with music and satellite radio to be locked-up with music industry-approved DRM software, according to a Cnet report and a statement from Sen. Feinstein's office. "All audio services — Webcasters included — would be obligated to implement "reasonably available and economically reasonable" copy-protection technology aimed at preventing "music theft" and restricting automatic recording." Do you really want the RIAA designing software and hardware?
