Dan Schnapp spoke at the DCIA's inaugural P2P and Cloud Media Summit
in Santa Monica on May 6th. The summit was held in conjunction with
Digital Hollywood, one of the premier entertainment and technology industry
conferences. Dan was part of a panel entitled "Global Perspective –
Changing Rules for P2P and Cloud Computing", which discussed the key
laws and regulations that P2P and cloud computing software developers and
distributors need to comply with, the changes taking place in the regulatory
environment affecting P2P and cloud-computing technologies, the impact of
recent actions and rulings and other issues in the legal and policy arenas that
might foster investment and commercial development of P2P and cloud computing.
More information on registration is available on the DCIA's website. On a
related note, the video from the DCIA's March 9 conference has been

participated in a panel discussing the
various business models utilized by P2P and cloud computing providers,
including ad-supported, subscription, paid download and other innovative
