Great article and some insight into the future.
I heard that story on NPR.

Yeah. It's some asshat's opinion on the future of the web, and crossing your toes that online advertising will be the paying model to keep everyone in business (aka the dot.com bubble burst, version 2.0 if you believe in that shit).

Anyone who produces any kind of content, music, movies, video games, software, material that is being stolen does not believe in any such idea. It costs money to make, and market fresh, new, high quality material and programs.

Free doesn't pay the bills for those who MAKE the very content you want to steal or have for free. It's basic economics 101. Anyone who subscribes to the notion you can run a business for free is a fucking retard.
