Ok, then in my naive little world this would be the cloning business case with some kind of quality of service.
Basically you only sell me a link to your variety of assets. Then we have three cases: - you keep this in your personal assets store, which might be something like a stand-alone cable beach server. When this server is unavailable, I cannot access your item. - you run or rent some 'home/office space' on a particular region; if the region is unavailable, I again cannot access your item. - you run your own grid or rent some 'grid space' on a particular grid; if the grid is unavailable, I again cannot access your item. Assuming that grid uptimes are good, this would be the best option in terms of accessibility. In all three cases you yourself are a customer of either a region or a grid, because you need some level of QOS, which they provide unless you don't want to do this yourself. If a grid owner is nice she gives you free access to, say, 20MB of personal inventory. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Melanie Gesendet: Donnerstag, 19.

I may not grant the right to keep a local copy of an asset, because I may not want it to work on local installations or another grid, I may not want to give up my script source.
