definately interesting. we'll see if it will be adapted. now, we have
few tunes available in the world, and i think there's couple more done
per year. so i think that if this is widely used, the system that keeps
up the database should be enormous. and it would not be quite cheap.
of course, a bit after the system is in wide use, somebody will start
faking this service, effectively making the whole effort to it's knees.
there's lots of stuff that could be done. so, heck of a good idea, but
can be hacked too, so it's not ultimate idea but better than anything we
have now.
