Looking forward to reading Greg Clark’s new book, assuming I can spare the time….
I mentioned on Twitter an idea I had in regards to intellectual property. One of the reasons that intellectual property exists is to foster creativity. But with the proliferation of derivative music through the power of capitalism’s economies of scale, is there really any benefit? (see One Direction today and Backstreet then) Perhaps we should just live off the huge library of music which has been produced and saved across the many decades since storage formats came into existence? Someone pointed out that there really isn’t a need to produce any more porn; everything has probably done, and it is just a matter of familiarity.
