  Piracy Can Be Good: in non-geek language[->] 2007-11-30 13:32 crazybilly

crazybilly writes "Explaining why piracy isn't bad for businesses can be difficult, especially when talking to nontechnical people. Globeandmail.com provides an article explaining not only why piracy isn't necessary bad for business buy how piracy has benefited buisnesses and artist (including Hollywood) in the past. Using historical examples, ranging from Daniel Defoe to the VCR, they make a strong case for why the RIAA and company ought to relax."

  Open Souce Movement May Change Everything[->] 2007-06-18 17:55 crazybilly

Submitted by crazybilly on Monday June 18 2007, @05:55PM
crazybilly writes "Lifehack.org has an article about 'how the open movement will change everything'. After software, the article suggests schools, governement, and money among others.

From the article, "Now consider this: the open-source concept doesnt have to just apply to software. It can apply to anything in life, any area where information is currently in the hands of few instead of many, any area where a few people control the production and distribution and improvement of a product or service or entity.""
