Re: [mmox] Permissions

Hmm, "it's not gonna enforce IP technically" was not the point I
wanted to make. The actual point is: attempting to define a mechanism
for signalling what categories of actions are permitted or not under a
specific copyright law (which may or may not be applicable depending
on national/sovereign context) is a non-starter because of infinite
recursion.

This is one of the main reasons I suggest curtaining the issue
entirely by adopting a multiple-host approach, where content (but not
necessarily the MMOX-layer object reference itself) remains hosted on
the originating grid and is not replicated between different grids
through the cross-grid protocol. The other reason for following such
an approach, is that it's the only one compatible with existing P2P
VWs like Solipsis.
