There is some discussion of a "Copyright tax" to allow more free trade of content and compensate copyright holders.

I've missed a whole bunch of this, but I walked in to hear Jonathan Taplin talk about the DMCA as the "Lawyer's Preservation Act." 

Keen thinks there would be a massive user rebellion over the tax. Spiradellis thinks that content is a communications tool, and that they won't pay for "linear content" like TV shows but they will pay for things like e-cards. 

Keen: Most blogs suck, the vast majority of content is awful. We have less time and more things to do.

Taplin says that the current content model is monetizing based on directed and CPM, and that may work and may not work. 

I'm sorry, but I can't keep up. That's it for TPS 2008. I'll be in DC in the morning, possibly a podcast with Alex tonight.
