From: Carl Malamud <carl () media org> Hi Dave - If you can have 16 channels, you can have 16,000. The MIT LAMP is great adaptive technology for a campus. It uses the existing copyright provisions to allow people (on campus) to listen to the music they want. No big deal to extend the system so each student gets their own channel. How is that different from Napster et. al.? I think MIT LAMP is a brilliant short-term solution/hack. It solves a real problem. Since the long-term solution (much more sensible copyright laws) appear to be on the very distant horizon, the authors should be congratulated for getting a real solution "on the air."Carl
