Re:Read the paper here - NOT (Score 1)

The link takes you to the appendix of proofs - this gives you no way to evaluate whether or not the propositions they are proving are useful in the first place. One problem with academic papers is that they fail to address the interesting question and are often predicated on absurd assumptions. I'm pretty confident in stating this because I have not only an MBA, but also a PH.D. in business strategy. The true heart of the argument has to be in the copyright / patent system which provides the basis for their "strategic" propositions - none of which appear to be very novel to me.
