Abstract
The most challenging task facing McGlade is licensing content for MusicNet, but the content he is looking for is already digitized, compressed, labeled, and widely published on the Internet. Peer-to-peer networks like KaZaA or iMesh virtually offer all content users desire. The only problem is that right owners did not license the content to them and users are acting illegal, if they offer content – and in some countries, when they download it.
