From somewhere on the Net:

“Why does Google insist that it’s goal is to

‘organize the world’s information’?

Because it’s figured out one of the deepest secrets hidden at

the heart of 21st century economics:

Markets, networks, and communities can organize

economic activities radically more efficiently than firms.”21Friday, July 11, 2008

The End of Control as we knew it:

A huge paradigm shift: it’s not total control that wins in tomorrow’s

markets - it’s total empowerment.

It’s no longer about certified and central authority and the ‘select

few authorized professionals’ but also about the combined power of

masses of people.

It’s no longer just about actions guided by one’s own concerns and

immediate gains (economic egoism) but also about considering the

effect on the ecosystem - the network - as a whole

Making money with Free Content?

BPI chief executive Geoff Taylor told BBC

News that the body was prepared to ... take

ISPs to court. "There is a phenomenal amount

of piracy out there and we believe that the

idea that 95% of content on the net is free is

not sustainable. We don't believe that society can allow the free consumption of content to persist," he said.
