Thanks Mary for locating this exciting network. Lets think of actively 
participating in these areas of distributed networks.

The Open Content Network is a collaborative effort to help deliver large, 
freely-downloadable content using peer-to-peer technology. The network is 
essentially a huge "virtual web server" that links together thousands of 
computers for the purpose of helping out over-burdened web sites. 

Using various web browser plug-ins, users can download open source and public 
domain software, movies, and music at incredibly fast speeds from this 
global, distributed network. 

Using a new Peer-to-Peer technology, called the "Content-Addressable Web", 
indviduals will be able to help distribute free content by donating their 
spare bandwidth and disk space to the network. 

Note: Contrary to what some articles may say, the OCN is not a file sharing 
network like Kazaa. Rather, it is a controlled content delivery network for 
legitimate freely-distributable content.
