Business does not need to be made “easier”: it is *already* trivially easy – that's the whole point. It's the “creative industries” that have insisted on making business harder by refusing to engage with the technologies, and then trying to sabotage them with things like DRM.

Similarly, there is no necessary causal link between reduced online copyright infringement and increased sales: one model that works perfectly well is to *encourage* people to copy your stuff to provide free marketing. Contrary to what the “creative industries” would have you believe, people are willing to buy stuff that is freely available online; in addition, there are many opportunities for selling ancillary goods off the back of the primary content.

Here’s where the world’s undernourished people live:



• 642 million in Asia and the Pacific
• 265 million in Sub-Saharan Africa
• 53 million in Latin America and the Caribbean
• 42 million in the Near East and North Africa.



Some 907 million undernourished people live in developing countries, and 65 percent of the world’s undernourished are located in just seven countries: India, China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan and Ethiopia.
