Normally I wouldn't post this here, but here is where many of the people who built the machine gather, and it is our responsibility to do something about the unintended consequences. http://thetrichordist.wordpress.com/2012/08/27/principles-for-an-ethical-and -sustainable-internet/ We're killing our culture. I don't think anyone intended that but the web is serving interests antithetical to its own continued health. I don't intend to have a long debate here about that. We did that a decade ago. On the other hand, it's time to quit denying it or telling others nothing can be done because it is "inevitable". We've tried it the open source way. We've tried it the egoboo way. These ways have failed to protect the rights of others. We work for companies that fight each other viciously for intellectual property of their own while profiting through the piracy of the rights of others. If we can't stop it, it will be stopped by means none of us will like. This goes to the heart of businesses. This goes to the heart of culture. If we were smart enough to turn it on, we better prepare to watch it disintegrate if we can't control the unintended consequences. len
