    I think this is a non-issue when talking about freely reproducible 
items like digital goods.. Conceptually I find it similar to a product 
like electricity..
    The new BBC endeavor is a fun example of a centralized copyleft 
construct..
    With future archives learning from p2p forays, the individual 
becomes the library - offering both centralized and distributed 
aspects.. I think this balance will be the norm.. To me, an 
understanding of thoughts in both directions seems reasonable.
