The Domesticated Primate

BoingBoing had a posting today discussing Disney's viewpoint on piracy. Very interesting that back in 2002, Microsoft wrote a paper using the term "darknet" and this sentence in the conclusion is saying essentially what Disney is only now saying publicly:

"In short, if you are competing with the darknet, you must compete on the darknet’s own terms: that is convenience and low cost rather than additional security."

I wonder if someone at Disney finally got around to reading this write-up from Microsoft and/or read the book Darknet.
