OK, Dave sorry. I get so excited every time I add more. Ya know, women like to talk. I'll try to restrain myself. FB

I've been waiting for someone else to ask this. Background: Electronic Arts -- a huge content player -- has agreed to distribute its titles through Digital River, a Minnesota company that has developed an "online reseller channel" -- a complex of more than 250 reseller Web sites. (Digital River is soon to go public as DRIV. As I understand it, their distribution channel bears no comparison to Wave's metering-cum-encryption. It is server side, web-tethered, non-microtransactional, etc. Still, they may be the electronic version of Amazon.) The arrangement does not appear to be exclusive. Questions: Which way does this move by Electronic Arts cut? Competition? Validation? Both? More?
