I disagree. There are a lot of organizations out there who provide free products. Some of these will never become profitable, some will stay as non-profits, and some will be like Facebook or Twitter.

I’ve used flickr for Free and then chose to pay. I’ve used Last.fm for free and then chose to pay. A lot of people fear that in providing a free service or product you are losing something, but some have proven that there’s also a lot to gain. That’s a risk for makers to decide and users to reward.

If tech is becoming a food we live on a daily basis then its likely one would start paying or at least 1 segment will be willing to pay

Reblogged this on NikiVallwaysMyway and commented: well, when you consider how arbitrarily valued money and services are determined, doing stuff for free is just kinda going to be the natural way, unless we want to continue on a path inherently unequal because of its arbitrary value system. "The best things in life are free," and that is true.

So this is the debate on copyright and patents but behind a veil
The world is far behind on the copyright conversation, with patents , because of 3D printing , changes must be forced soon.
