<<Does there even need to be a device that monitors flow at a HARDWARE LEVEL.>> The short answer is that hardware insures security. What's also very important is that the information being monitored through this system will be "wave-enabled" -- which means that it will be de-genericized. It's not the number of bytes that gets metered, it's the specific value of the specific pieces of the content that are being used, as determined by the creator of the content. Very un-generic. As for rent-to-own, I think you have to look at how people use games especially. I see a lot of kids renting PC games from my local video store. If it's a good game, I bet they rent it as much as it takes to get through it. I don't think that rent-to-own is such a stretch, especially if the games come for "free" with your computer or in the mail. And especially if the system is so seamless that you hardly realize that what you're doing is renting to own. Anyway, those are a few of my thoughts this morning.
