The entire idea of agents being connected to every "good" network the stake holders have connections to (ex. streaming services) rubs me the wrong way. People ought to talk about the upcoming future of software agents by emphasizing that you can choose which networks they hook up to. I can't imagine a more dismal future than having to try and jailbreak a software agent to get it to hook up to irc or the BitTorrent network, or not being able to use an alias and having mandatory realnaming to interact with these things. Where's the GNUagent people?
