It lays out why the future of filmaking will be led by the 'mob' rather than the 'auteur'.

"P2P projects are characterized by holoptism. Holoptism is the
implied capacity and design of p 2 p processes that allows
participants free access to all the information about the other
participants; not in terms of privacy, but in terms of their
existence and contributions (i.e. horizontal information) and
access to the aims, metrics and documentation of the project
as a whole (i.e. the vertical dimension). This can be contrasted
to the panoptism which is characteristic of hierarchical projects:
processes are designed to reserve 'total' knowledge for an elite,
while participants only have access on a 'need to know' basis. "
