AdPulp: One Man Gathers What Another Man Spills:
Stewart got it right :
Stewart Brand's famous qoute 'Information wants to be free' has been the rallying cry of the open source software movement for years.
And I basically think Stewart was right.
Free is a great way to make money. You just have to know how you are going to get paid for being free.
Today, with digital distribution being something of a Wild West show, artists, writers, photographers, musicians, film makers and others are concerned about 'giving it all away' on the internet. Yet, there's nothing to be concerned about (other than privacy rights). The idea is to build a fan base. Without that fan base you don't have Jack. So, do whatever you have to do to be totally solid with that the people who most vigorously support what you're doing. It's the old 'give it away and see what comes back to you' trick. Bloggers and Deadheads know it well. Deadheads who blog know it even better."
