A retrospective on early internet legal and ethical battles, including "bandwidth theft" via deep-linking to images and the practice of "framing" other websites to steal advertising revenue. These issues were prominent in the early 2000s during the rise of blogs and Slashdot.
The hosts discuss Tim O'Reilly's early contributions to the internet, including his work with The Well and the creation of the Global Network Navigator (GNN). They reflect on how being "too far ahead of the time" can prevent innovators from achieving the massive wealth seen during the late 90s dot-com boom. Curry compares his own early ventures in online video and audio to O'Reilly's trajectory.
