No media utopias.
Data redundancy is a good thing.
Orkut's big in Brazil! Mixi is big in Japan!
Privacy anyone?

Make it public, or  keep it to youself
Make it legal (and clear) using Open Content Licenses (CC licenses or Public Domain)

Mo' Content.  Mo' Libraries.
Open Source is Everywhere.
We still rely on non-open content.

Cross-over hope of Flickr,  Youtube, blip.tv
New devices like OLPC and OpenMoko are  content-making-machines
What are some ideas on how to best get more open content on Gnome?
