Learning To Profit From Piracy

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday October 21, 2008 @08:43AM from the pointing-out-a-market-failure dept.

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Wired has an interview with Matt Mason, author of The Pirate's Dilemma: How Youth Culture Is Reinventing Capitalism, which discusses how businesses could make money off of piracy, rather than attacking people in a futile attempt to suppress it. And some of his ideas are gaining traction; work is underway on a TV show called Pirate TV, which he describes as 'two parts Anthony Bourdain, one part Mythbusters.' (Heroes executive producer Jesse Alexander is on board.) Also, Mason is pretty good about practicing what he preaches in that you can pirate his book on his own website."

Spoil sport. Grab it while you can, I say. By the time it falls apart, we'll all be dead.
Yes, goddammit, I am a republican, and so long as I am in this world, I am going to take from it as much as I can, because, goddammit, you can't take it with you. Join me, or get the HELL OUT OF MY WAY !!
