Tim– <<So forwarding a vidclip you've sent to someone else *is* a copyright violation (same as Xeroxing a newsletter and sending cc's around the office, even though that's done routinely in large corporations?). After all, it's not exactly like you can hand a vidclip around like you can a copy of a magazine or newsletter…>> In fact there is a very cool bit of product called "Creative Parnter" by emotion (Palo Alto, CA) (415) 812-9001, that allows the multimedia equivalent of groupware…the fascile dissemination of media files (QT video, audio, still PICT files, etc) from one Mac computer to another,without the need for hardware de/compressors at either end, or dedicated high bandwidth networks. Send/Receive a movie…annotate it with voice, text or hand-drawn comments, then return or forward it to others. Great for interaction between clients and ad agencies/law firms, etc. The approximation of the ideal living document cybertext promises to be? –Patrick
