I was the founding chairman and ceo of napster. I started the company with my
nephew shawn back in 1999. I owned 70% of the company and I represented the

very interested in the inherent conflict between free speech, consumer rights

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I was thinking in doing a
Compartir es bueno (Sharing is good) campaing in Argentina too. Maybe we can do
something worldwide.<br>
We were thinking in banners, blogs, youtuve videos, etc...<br>
<br>
Besides that, I really do not understand why P2P is so targeted. Maybe is
time to start creating free things and share using P2P to show the world that
P2P is usefull not only to download ilegal content, and so it must be not
punished just to download or upload using P2P. <br>
Because if the tools continue to be forbidden, we wouldn´t be able to share our
own stuff.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>There is absolutely no need to push anything illegal within
a "sharing<br>
is good" campaign.<br>
Even if you could, that wouldn't even necessarily meet the goal.<br>
<br>
You can as well show why it's favorable to use open content licenses<br>
such as Creative Commons, GPL, ...<br>
You can argue in favour of the "standing on the should of giants"<br>
image (instead of the "ivory tower image").<br>
You can show that P2P networks can accomplish quite useful tasks.<br>
You can show what is ultimately questionable about restrictive<br>
licenses, their downside and the whole piracy debate.<br>
You can promote your vision of a world where everyone can share the<br>
information they want.<br>
And you can even still state at the end (or beginning): "Even though'<br>
the current situation is extremely questionable, we don't want you to<br>
get into legal problems. So please abstain from sharing non-open<br>
content media, but instead promote open-content licensed creatives and<br>
politicians that aim to change the situation."<br>
<br>
If pupils are thaught that there is information they can share by P2P<br>
and why it's more preferable to have it that way, they might become<br>
allies...<br>
