OK, my mistake. I had not read all of Charbax's posts. Didn't realize he was advocating "the government" as the gatekeeper of all intellectual property. No thanks.
I have no problem with individual websites implementing Web 2.0 with ratings tailored to my particular tastes as selected by like minded individuals. There's also nothing to stop me from experimenting and sampling items outside my comfort zone. The point is that the web could take the place of the publishing industry's role of gatekeeper in regards to what is good and what isn't.
The business about "the government" mandating this role is simply nuts.
