The Wealth of Nations and P2P

Today I went to a really great talk by a guy called Michel Bauwens who spoke on the implications of various kinds of topology, especially P2P, within various aspects of humanity. He is an interesting man and had a lot to do with the development of the P2P Foundation. I think this is applicable because his talk was really about the benefits of getting people to work for passion not for profit and how that inspires people to do things of much greater value. Obviously this is integral to my Design 2.0 project so at the end of his talk I discussed some of the related issues with him. He encouraged me which was great and also gave me some advice along the lines of seeking interested individuals to take part in my system.

On another note, during my conversation with Michel another member of the audience became involved and we later discussed this project as well as a few similar things. He was a Melbourne University Law student and seemed interested in this area. It is possible that I have found yet another member for the copyright system project.
