"I write free books and people buy them. It works out surprisingly well."
a rather mediocre article on open source by the economist. The Open Cloud Manifesto seems a corporate effort and the real cloud is still the internet and not a proprietary attempt to lock data.
good if inconclusive article. annoyingly, still talk of 'consumers' addicted to free content. Oh boy, 'consumers' who also produce and distribute ain't consumers no more. media industry can't accept that though. better would be looking into 'because of' m
