Nesson's Grokster Manifesto
I'm not really sure what this means (are they launching a new project?), but Charles Nesson, co-director of Harvard's Berkman Center, has published a short "Grokster Manifesto" on his blog:
We invite judges to help shed its corporate vestiges of babylon as it applies to open knowledge libraries. Grokster is a troublemaker for the dons of p2p. Our Code is Open, don’t you see. The Open Library of Knowledge will distribute p2p torrents of information seeded in a mirrored ring data bases rooted in time and space as firmly as engineers can plant them. Our enterprise nonprofit. Wikipedia is our model.

Ummm ... what?
Anyway, there's a flaw right here:
"Our capacity as individuals to generate and share useful and amusing content is a function of the number of creative people doing it, the affirmation they get from doing it, and the cost of the equipment needed to listen, express, connect, aggregate, integrate, archive, search, and distribute."
Plus the cost of the LABOR needed to "... connect, aggregate, integrate, archive, search, and distribute.". That's nontrivial. Highly nontrivial.

To Seth, trivial in your terms if done by software and willing volunteers. Wikipedia a model.
