If the Web and the Net can be viewed as spaces in which we will increasingly live our lives, the economic laws we will live under have to be natural to this new space. These laws turn out to be quite different from what the old economics teaches, or what rubrics such as "the information age" suggest. What counts most is what is most scarce now, namely attention. The attention economy brings with it its own kind of wealth, its own class divisions - stars vs. fans - and its own forms of property, all of which make it incompatible with the industrial-money-market based economy it bids fair to replace. Success will come to those who best accommodate to this new reality.

Author Paulo Coelho's profitable Net obsession - Feb. 1, 2008
-
In 1999, best-selling author Paulo Coelho, who wrote "The Alchemist," was failing in Russia. That year he sold only about 1,000 books, and his Russian publisher dropped him. But after he found another, Coelho took a radical step. On his own Web site, launched in 1996, he posted a digital Russian copy of "The Alchemist."
With no additional promotion, print sales picked up immediately. Within a year he sold 10,000 copies; the next year around 100,000. By 2002 he was selling a total of a million copies of multiple titles. Today, Coelho's sales in Russian are over 10 million and growing. "I'm convinced it was putting it up for free on the Internet that made the difference," he said in an interview at this year's World Economic Forum in Davos.

Techdirt: The Economics Of Free Isn't Good Or Bad -- It's Simply What Happens
-
Even worse, Iskold fails to show how it's actually bad on a larger scale. What he does is show how it's bad on a micro scale for certain companies. But, you could make that argument for anything. Automobiles were "bad" for buggy whips. The printing press was bad for scribes. The telephone was bad for telegraph operators. Yet, on a larger economic scale, all of these things opened up more opportunities to the economy. The same is true with the economics that are being discussed these days. Recognizing the inevitability of infinite goods to be offered for free increases the resource pool and opens up many new opportunities to provide goods and services -- and to profit from them.
