Re: Unsolicited recruiting for BT2-like development, wtf?

Chatted online with Travis this morning. I have known him for about 5 
years.

Told him it was pretty bad form to send that note to the list.

As for the Fucked Company post, I should remind the list that his 
previous company Scour was sued by the MPAA for about 8 billion or was 
it 8 trillion dollars for copyright infringement. As for his recent 
comments to the MPAA, I wasn't there and haven't found a good account of 
what he said. Anyone got one?

While I don't agree with the RedSwoosh model or approach. He has made 
some progress in the P2P field. I just think BT is a better solution for 
entertainment content delivery with the appropriate legal controls in 
place for the content owner.
