P2P media

Studying more deeply the topic of p2p media (peer-to-peer media) , as a kind of personal media (personal media), I discovered that there is already a whole fund that looks at the whole future in p2p. The foundation is called the P2P Foundation . They have collected a lot of materials on the site on the topic. For example, how p2p can replace a capitalist economy with a communist one, how p2p can change a society, a social hierarchy, an interaction of people. But with regard to the media, two points must be made.

1. In the future, personal media will need clearing services. Now their prototype is universal smart cards or a mobile phone with wallet functions . Perhaps these will be institutions that combine the functions of a personal firewall, antivirus and bank. Implementation period: next 20 years (maximum!).
2. Perhaps the state will begin to intervene in private life more and more. Not because of the development of technology in general, realizing the precepts of Big Brother, but because p2p is a private contact between two citizens, which, thanks to the development of media, will effectively hide both the identity and essence of the interaction. So they will not be sent to prison not for pirated software, but for the impossibility of wiretapping.
