[Irtalk] The economies of openness | Ramblings of a Remote Worker

[Hilton Gibson]

Interested in looking at something beyond the arguments around licensing I
decided to put my energy into watching law professor Yochai Benkler on
Open-source economics *looks more deeply at the economics driving the
democratization of cultural production.* His argument is that years ago
producers had to be able to raise financial capital to start producing news
content. *There was an industrial knowledge economy but it was market based
or government owned. This requirement has been inverted by the Internet. *
