Information Freedom Rules

Re: Carl Shapiro, Hal Varian, Information Rules, Harvard Business School Press 1999. Freedom rulez ok! And: information freedom needs rules (a2k, GPL v 3.0, CC).

We could invite Hal Varian and Yochai Benkler who‘s Commons-based Peer Production is strikingly missing from the business models Shapiro/Varian are discussing. Both could have keynotes on the first evening, Information Rules and Commons-based Peer Production revisited. Is price discrimination really the only way for information markets? How have his ideas about DRM changed? After that, a panel would dicuss where we stand. It could also pick up on the Web Bubble 2.0 hybrid economic models that Saul talked about. Is the subculture of social networks (are they a subculture?) being venture capitalized into flagships of info capitalism.

Notes

  • We should be careful to ensure the understanding of "Free" as in "libre" as opposed to "free" as in "no cost". Any infrastructure has an inherant cost associated with it - how it is absorbed is part of the phenomenon, but doesn't cause it's non-existance.
