Note the requirement for (audio) file encryption

Copying the file without the key would be useless and the key would have to be designed to have a limited time stamp life and some level of engineered uncopyability.

Of course the user interface is important. And the problem is that Novell needs to have a well funded project with high corporate priority in order not to miss the opportunity.

I've read a dozen different companies are involved now in trying to become leaders in P2P file sharing. Even Ester Dyson has commented upon the centrality of the Napster/Gnutella developments to the future ofthe internet.

The only thing that bothers me Peter is that you keep talking in terms of Netware. No one is going to use Netware to solve P2P file sharing.
