An excellent, and IMO, essential step forward in your PGA project RaR -
all kudos to yourself and Rezzable for making such a move. Of course there
are DRM/IP issues involved - there will be for a long time to come, but that
shouldn't impede the progress that can be made and should be tested.

As to IP, from tests I have made myself, it is those that HG to yourselves
that are taking the biggest risk (if such it is), as it is their inventory that is
effectively open to 'abuse', but as long as those who want to get involved
are aware of this, then they can limit the risks by only HG'ing with a
sub-set of their inventory/assets, from say a single sim set-up just for
the testing process. You (Rezzable) of course are also exposed by such
a test, but I'm sure you've taken that into account, and weighed up the
possibilities of 'theft', but are still willing to go ahead. Like myself though,
I'm also sure that at this moment in (OpenSim) time, you don't really have a lot
to lose :)

Hypergrid is definitely the way forward (far better than OGP, which is probably
why LL/IBM have lost interest). I'm confident that at some point the DRM issues
will be resolved, and once that happens, I can see HG becoming the standard
for intergrid traffic. This is an exciting and good time for starting to use it ... best
of luck with the tests.

(btw: If you decide to go closed, rather than open alpha with HG, please keep
me in mind. And, as an aside, don't listen to the nay-sayers - he who dares, wins ;))

Evad :O)
