These are my links for December 4th through December 7th:

• Global Web Index – Interesting research of 32,000 global internet users showing their levels of participation in web 2.0 digital content creation. Users in China are far more 'engaged' as creators than Europe, and UK/US very 'unengaged' compared to Brazil, Russia, China, India and other parts of Europe.
• More Research To Back The Notion That Streaming Kills Piracy – Well, doesn't kill as such, but the popularity of services like Spotify and Hulu in US have dampened peer-to-peer downloads – the question is how streaming can now be monetized.
