| Reply my approach is sort of mechanical but both systems require an investment/TCO which is either monetary or time with social networks relating to the latter (though they can be reciprocal). a naively yet rational way of thinking would implicate that once you don't take the time to foster a relationship there should be no reason left to (passively) participate in another person's life. to lead this over to real-life: taking from someone after years of absence almost always implies some sort of hypocrisy at the beginning which could be described as an evil "on-demand mentality", adding a third dimension to this comparison. that being said, i wouldn't regard the current approach of facebook et al. a flawed one per se. corporate DRM is simply a protracted lock-in relationship with a competitive background, social DRM is a highly emotional process with memories and experiences that fade just like that movie you rented on itunes. thomas marban
