Most of the great web innovations occured before the Internet was regarded as a serious threat to terrestrial busines' very methods of doing busness. <br /><br />Using API objects that have Attached Licences to distribute content to the public, would allow content owners to set their own prices for the use of their content.<br /><br />While the IP protocol blindly passes information through networks. A royalty baised IP structure would monitize the use of data and allow contractual obligations between consumers and creators to be satisfied as a part of the delivery process.<br /><br />Without a doubt the potential to abuse said system would still exist because some would choose to ignore the licences attached to content. <br /><br />If all perpatrators of illegal use of content were required to comply to the attached audit terms of said content, litigators could easily find profitable settlements with perpatrators that would encourage innovation instead of imprisioning innovators.

The practice of developing such compilers and trying to improve them would likely redefine what sorts of boilerplate are used, the chunk-size of pieces of boilerplate, and how one selects different chunks that are compatible with one another.<br /><br />Tools to help construct contracts with an internally-consistent set of boilerplate pieces, and pre-compilers that help rearrange a contract so that existing compilers can extract as much meaning as posible from them, would both become useful in the resulting ecosystem.SJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08610708768730346228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1972227005391162265.post-47353779074801123502010-02-23T14:58:15.060-08:002010-02-23T14:58:15.060-08:00Solid work.

As the coder, you may warn him of the disastrous output of a subroutine the other side has written (say a very one-sided indemnity). However, because all code is thought to be rarely executed, and the PM is judged on his number of quarterly launches, the PM would rather just launch than push for a rewrite of that code.Matt LeVeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04999912364578855453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1972227005391162265.post-67002974848795068482010-02-23T13:18:49.191-08:002010-02-23T13:18:49.191-08:00I would really like to see more actual API's w...I would really like to see more actual API's written with a "licence" or "contracual attachment". I believe that any site that hosts streaming media would benifigt greatly from these types of portable licence APIs. When companies fail to compartmentalize the product the also fail to realize the strenth of the products dirivative uses. Why would a YouTube not utilize the advantages of their content being programatically licenced by anyone using their API?J Biggahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331914098904519575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1972227005391162265.post-39712375199706428832010-02-23T10:25:50.701-08:002010-02-23T10:25:50.701-08:00Yay!
