I've been thinking about sharing legitimate content through gnutella, but wonder if there's much point. Most of the stuff I see is either spam, pirated or porn. I like the idea of open sharing, open source, and an open community.

I like taking weather photos, and would like to share them. I'd be angry to see them used in a commercial way (arrogant assumption, eh?). Is there an equivalent of the open source license for content?

I can just just share through the .Mac homepage service (it's well set up for that sort of thing), but wondered if anyone in this community can see much realistic hope for gnutella as a legitimate medium for sharing original material.

If anyone can see any realistic value in such an attempt, any ideas on practical concerns like naming the files ("sasx-winter 001.jpg"?), annotating them for meta-data (exif2), and licensing would be appreciated.

Frost in Saskatchewan, anyone? Or just back to "Please share Britney awesome".
