Darknets vs. Lightnet

Jason Boog interviewed J.D. Lasica and Lucas Gonze last week for his Darknets vs. Lightnet piece in Publish, studying the ways that online publishers will interact with the Napster generation.

The Lightnet meme is gaining momentum...It has been interesting to track how the term 'Lightnet' has rapidly embraced and refined as it spreads its way across the memeosphere.
