DRUMS

Have a look at Scott Matthews’ DRUMS.  Can’t really say I’m capable of judging the idea technically, but making referencing, finding, and possibly licensing works very efficient sounds cool to me.  As I’ve expressed to Scott, I don’t really get how it’s a new file-sharing “rhetoric”; it could help P2P in numerous ways, too, so it’s not like this is just a tool for improving the legit services.  But that’s even better – it’s a neutral tech that might enhance the way we experience digital media in many contexts.  Maybe you want to identify shareable content, maybe you want a reference that you can use when moving between various media tools, maybe you want to identify the author and relevant copyright holders to license samples – all might be helped by something like DRUMS.
