Hello Paul,

So in short, a Personal Directory can store any type of information that you want it to. Public and Private encryption keys, etc.

There is *nothing* that I can see, however, that will provide any kind of perfect protection for the record or movie companies. Personal Directory does not, in itself, have some magic bullet to "solve" the issues of people creating digital copies of music, etc. and sharing them ...

This whole area is a minefield, and will, IMHO, be impossible to solve until someone figures out how to jack the multimedia directly into our brains.

Instead, just like every other time that people screamed like chicken-little that the sky was falling ... it won't fall. And the masses will purchase content that is cheap enough and convenient enough.

Just an opinion ...
