In order to sidestep some of the thorny (and circular) discussions on property rights, as well as the petty technical arguments backed by "customer interests", I propose that only worlds with free access and only unencumbered objects be allowed to interoperate, at least to start. The commercial objectives are taking up too much of _my_ limited bandwidth. Remember when the internet did not have any commercial interests? This was up until 1994, not really that long ago. Waka
